Sheffield Land Trust, Egremont Land Trust, and Greenagers have almost met our goal to purchase, protect, and maintain a new community trail and woodland education area called Bow Wow Woods.

This project, part of the Sheffield-Egremont Corridor Project, is a 54-acre wooded parcel along Route 41 and Bow Wow Road, where Egremont borders Sheffield. Of the project’s total cost ($1 million), we secured about $900,000 through foundation grants, a generous gift from a long-time Sheffield Land Trust member, and membership support.

Greenagers now owns the land and will act as its day-to-day steward. Sheffield Land Trust and Egremont Land Trust hold a conservation restriction on the property and share the monitoring of the land.

We now need to raise the remaining $100,000 for ongoing maintenance.
