Farmland Protection Tools for the Berkshires

Massachusetts is losing farmland faster than we can save it, and land trusts and towns can play a part in ensuring land remains available for future generations of farmers. There are many programs (and lots of funding) available to help protect farmland.

This special webinar will focus on farmland protection tools and funding sources for land trusts and municipalities in the Berkshires.
