Field Trip: Cooper Hill: Landscape-scale Conservation via Alliance Building

This field trip complements a Conference workshop on the Cooper Hill Conservation Project, which will protect over 1,000 acres in the towns of Sheffield, MA and Salisbury, CT. Walk the fields and trails - some still being cut - and enjoy the vistas while listening to key project leads describe how the Cooper Hill Conservation Alliance quickly formed to work with the farmers who farmed a large portion of this land for over two decades. Learn how this complex project was made possible not only through multiple conservation tools but, importantly, through the trust and collaboration among all the partners.
