32 Acres in Hubbardston Permanently Protected
In December 2025, North County Land Trust (NCLT) permanently protected 32 acres in Hubbardston through a conservation restriction. The property lies between Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) watershed land and High Meadow Farm. The conservation restriction ensures the land remains forested, expands a contiguous habitat and trail network, and provides long-term protection for the Ware River Watershed, helping protect drinking water resources. The property is accessible via Gardner Road Cutoff and allows for passive public recreation along connected trails.

NEW! Diversifying Land Trust Revenue with Entrepreneurial Spirit Wednesday May 27, 12:00 - 1:00 pm via Zoom
With the reduction in federal funding and the resulting increase in competition for private grant funding and donor support, having diverse revenue streams has never been more important. Entrepreneurial approaches to revenue may also deepen land trusts’ relationships with their communities and bring the conservation message to new audiences. Ole Amundsen, an experienced professional in fundraising, finance and strategic planning, will examine case studies from land trusts of varying capacity and staffing from across the country that use an entrepreneurial approach to generate revenue. Organizations that attend this call will be offered a free one-hour consultation brainstorming session on entrepreneurial approaches, earned revenue opportunities and underutilized structures.

Environmental Bond Bill Takes Next Step
Once every several years, the Massachusetts legislature passes a bond bill to authorize bonding for future capital spending on a wide range of state programs essential to land conservation and other environmental programs. A number of policy measures are typically attached and become law when the bond bill is enacted. The Governor introduced her version of the Bond Bill last summer, labeling it “An Act to Build Resilience for Massachusetts Communities”, or the “Mass Ready Act” for short. On April 15, the Senate passed S.3050, an amended version of the bill that authorizes up to $3.6 billion in potential future state spending on environmental projects, including land acquisition, restoration, and water supply protection. The House is expected to debate and pass its own version of the bill in June or July; any differences will be subsequently resolved in a conference committee. MLTC is part of a large Coalition that will continue to advocate for the strongest bill possible. Among Coalition priorities adopted in the Senate version were key elements of a drought management bill that Mass Rivers has long championed, key elements of air quality task force legislation, and expanded funding for coastal resilience. Though it was ultimately not adopted in the Senate bill, MLTC is grateful to Sen. Jo Comerford for supporting an amendment that would have required municipalities to hold a public hearing before waiving their right of first refusal when notified that properties enrolled in Ch. 61, Ch. 61A or Ch. 61B are facing conversion to a non-conservation use. MLTC is exploring opportunities to include this House version. Read more.
Environmental Cuts Looming in FY27 State Operating Budget
On April 15, the House released its recommended state operating budget for FY27. Evidencing concerns about federal Medicaid changes, economic volatility, and a pair of ballot questions that could reshape the state's revenue structure, the House proposal is even more fiscally cautious than the proposal Governor Healey released in January. Less than 1% of the state budget is dedicated to energy and environmental programs. In FY26 funding for these programs was cut by $7.7 million, even as the overall state budget grew. The proposed FY27 budget makes even deeper cuts, even while the overall budget will again grow. The Governor had proposed $19 million in cuts for environmental programs (roughly 4% below FY26 levels), but the House is proposing even deeper cuts to several lines, including EEA Administration, DEP Administration, and the Environmental Justice Office. As a member of ELM’s Green Budget Coalition, MLTC is supporting amendments to increase funding for DEP operations, DCR Parks and Recreation, and the Division of Ecological Restoration. These amendments will be considered when the full House begins debate on the House version on April 27. Learn more and urge your State Representative to support our priority amendments. The Senate will take up the budget in May. Read more.
Nature for Massachusetts Coalition Collecting Signatures
While legislative action on the Nature for All Bill (H.901/S.2571) appears increasingly unlikely, proponents are gearing up to collect 21,000 signatures between May 6 and June 17 to place the matter directly before voters on the November 2026 ballot. If passed, this measure would dedicate an estimated $100 million per year from existing state sales tax revenues to conservation, restoration and improvement of lands and waters to benefit nature and people. This would far exceed the level of investment the state has made for these purposes in recent years, and land trust projects would be among the beneficiaries. Volunteers are needed to help gather signatures. To learn how you support the campaign in that or other ways, see the Nature for Massachusetts website.
Governor Advances Sunday Hunting
On April 14, Governor Healey filed a supplemental budget to allocate funding for essential state operations for the remainder of the current fiscal year. She attached several policy proposals that could be fast-tracked into law when this budget measure is enacted. Included were proposals to remove the ban on Sunday hunting, reduce setback requirements for bowhunting and falconry, and remove special permit requirements for crossbow hunting. Following a public comment period conducted this winter by The Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, the Governor announced her support for these changes at a Falmouth press conference on March 19. If the proposal passes, the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife would proceed to develop regulations to implement the changes. Learn more.
U.S. Forest Service Faces Major Reorg
On March 31, the Trump Administration announced a far-reaching reorganization of the USDA Forest Service. The plan envisions moving the Forest Service headquarters from Washington, DC to Utah and closing many existing regional offices. An office in Pennsylvania will now serve the entire northeast region. The plan also closes some regional Forest Service research stations, including one in Westfield, two in Connecticut, and the research station at the Bartlett Experimental Forest in New Hampshire; New Hampshire’s Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest station is also being studied for possible closure. The Forest Service says that the forests will remain available for future research by others without Forest Service facilities or staff. See this statement from Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) opposing the cuts.
New Energy Siting and Permitting Regs Effective July 1
The Commonwealth has established new siting and permitting processes for clean energy infrastructure, significantly changing the way that proposed solar and battery storage projects will be reviewed.

Each session will be recorded and posted on MACC's website. See details here.

$1.1 Million Awarded to Community-Led Biodiversity Projects Across Massachusetts

Funded through the Massachusetts Department of Fish & Game’s Community Biodiversity Grant Program, the awards support a diverse portfolio of projects that strengthen local capacity for biodiversity monitoring, habitat stewardship, and ecological restoration. Award recipients included Native Land Conservancy, Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, and The Trustees of Reservations. Read more.
Proposed Federal Certification Changes for Recipients of Federal Financial Assistance
In January, the federal General Services Administration proposed updates to certification requirements for all recipients of federal financial assistance, including grants, loans, and cooperative agreements. Public comments closed on March 30. The revisions would update Financial Assistance General Representations and Certifications to align with federal law and Trump-era executive orders and policies, including those related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Land trusts receiving federal funding from USDA or other agencies are strongly advised to carefully review any new certifications and associated terms and conditions and consult legal counsel to ensure compliance. Read more.
Cooper Hill Conservation Alliance Recognized for Cross-Border Conservation Success
The Connecticut Land Conservation Council has honored the Cooper Hill Conservation Alliance with a Special Award for Excellence in Conservation Collaboration. The Cooper Hill Conservation Alliance represents a landmark cross-border conservation achievement, protecting more than 1,200 acres of ecologically significant farmland, core forest, and critical wildlife habitat spanning Salisbury, Connecticut, and Sheffield, Massachusetts. The scale and urgency of the effort prompted the Council to extend a discretionary Special Award recognizing the full coalition behind the success. Read more.
Massachusetts Outdoor Recreation Surges Ahead
New data from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis highlights strong momentum in Massachusetts’ outdoor recreation economy. The sector generated $14.6 billion in value added in 2024 and supported 108,000 jobs, according to the Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account. With a 6.9% growth rate from 2023 to 2024—the highest in the nation—Massachusetts far outpaced the overall U.S. economic growth rate of 2.8%. Read more.
