Safeguarding Boston’s Water through Land Protection

This year, Mount Grace will complete two of the largest conservation initiatives in Massachusetts history, permanently protecting 4,500 acres of land in collaboration with state and local partners. The Quabbin to Wachusett and Quabbin Heritage projects enable 30+ families in six towns to conserve the land they hold in the watersheds of the Quabbin and Wachusett reservoirs—protecting the scenic rural landscapes of our towns while keeping drinking water safe for millions of Massachusetts citizens.

Through the last eight years, Sarah Wells, Director of Land Protection at Mount Grace, has helped coordinate this trailblazing effort to protect the forests and open space that safeguard the drinking water used by two million Massachusetts residents. Her presentation will incorporate stories of the participating landowners and feature the Boston area debut of “What The Land Is,” Mount Grace’s new movie.

This event is free. Please RSVP to assist with planning. Light refreshments will be served.
