Stockbridge, MA – The Land Trust will hold our annual meeting (open to members and the public) on Saturday, October 4th at 11:00 AM. The meeting will be held at Mohawk Lake at the end of Mohawk Lake Road (directions and map below). There is ample parking; light refreshments will be served. Besides very brief business at the meeting, we will hear more about the newly-preserved Stowe parcel, the lands around it and their history, including the “train to nowhere.” After the meeting, we will offer a walk around the lake. Our rain date is Sunday the October 5th at 11:00 AM (check our website for any updates).
Also at our annual meeting, we will remember past SLT President Shep Evans, who recently passed. Among Shep’s achievements in service to the SLT and our Town was an instrumental role in the saving of the invaluable 23-acre “4 Corners” parcel at the northwest corner of Routes 102 and 183. We have more about Shep on our website.
Lastly, we would very much like to hear from anyone who might be interested in joining in our work to preserve and improve our wonderful town. If you would like to learn more about opportunities to become involved, please email us at info@stockbridgelandtrust.org.
