Rewilding Beaver Brook

April 21, 2025

Your support today helps us revive the Beaver Brook watershed, restore natural habitat, and create new community recreation opportunities.

In partnership with Hilltown Land Trust and with community support, we’re working to purchase and transform 288 acres of floodplain, wetlands, and forest into a dynamic hub for conservation, community, and recreation at the current Beaver Brook Golf Course in Haydenville.

Our plan is to restore the land and stream floodplain, while providing opportunities for accessible public recreation, ecological restoration, and community engagement. We need your support in raising $1.5 million to make it a reality.

Visit The Trustees to register for a tour of the site on May 15th, contribute to the project, or learn more.
