The Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and advocating for the Connecticut River watershed, spanning four states from its source to the sea. Collaborating with partners, the CRC works to prevent pollution, improve habitat, and promote the enjoyment of the river and its tributary streams, recognizing the vital role healthy rivers play in supporting local economies. Since 1952, the CRC has been a leading force for positive environmental change in New England, bringing together communities and stakeholders to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of the Connecticut River and its surrounding ecosystems.Generated from the website

The Williamstown Rural Lands Foundation is a private, non-profit, member-supported land conservation trust. It was founded in 1986 to address the loss of open space and public access, the disappearance of family farms in the Williamstown area and to encourage responsible development. We hold 12 conservation restrictions on a total of 280 acres of land and monitor these properties annually. We own 550 acres of land and assist in the management of an additional 460 acres.
