Recently we learned of the passing of Terry Moore, a board member of the Stockbridge Land Trust on March 17, 2023.

Terry was a Trustee of the Land Trust for a little over 2 years, and although his time with us was brief, he left his mark on us in remarkable ways.

He was a life-long learner and used that methodical approach when contributing to Land Trust conversations and projects.  His eye was always on the future conservation of our lands and was a strong advocate for connecting with the Town's residents to encourage their interest in conservation.

We will miss Terry, his vast knowledge and life experience, and his kind demeanor.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Terry's name to The People's Pantry, PO Box 1115, Great Barrington, MA 01230.

We lost a beautiful advocate of our lands in Stockbridge, with the passing of Helga S. Orthofer on September 20, 2022.

Helga and her late husband John Kaiser were early environmental and conservation leaders in Stockbridge in granting to the Stockbridge Land Trust a conservation restriction on their scenic and environmentally sensitive lands located on East Street, a significant gateway entrance to our Town.

We are very grateful for the leadership and selflessness of Helga and her husband. As a token of our appreciation, the Stockbridge Land Trust made a donation to the Helga S. Orthofer Memorial Fund in memory of Helga.  This fund  supports the painter-in-residence program at Chesterwood which was established at the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.

Stockbridge, MA - The Stockbridge Land Trust will hold its 2022 Annual Meeting on Saturday, October 8, 2022 beginning at 10 a.m. at the Stockbridge Chestnut Preserve . Besides very brief business, we will have the pleasure of hearing from two members of the staff of the Berkshire Natural Resource Council (BNRC) - Mackenzie Greer (Director of Community Programs) and Deanna Smith (High Road Manager).  They will provide some background and an update on the BNRC's High Road Project.
