Native-led land conservation accepting the honor to protect, share, and restore land and water for the four-legged, the two-legged, the winged, and the finned
Rescuing land through donation or title purchase, upholding conservation easements, and tending to its needs.
It is not enough to simply save the land but also to preserve the culture that has thrived upon it for thousands of years.
As I rounded the corner beyond the condos, I found myself in a section of the river where there was no sign of the modern world. No cars or houses, docks or boats, and I imagine this is the world my ancestors would have seen. Pristine wilderness, the water lapping softly at the side of my canoe and the cattail, bulrush, and phragmite bending, gently in the breeze.
Start the New Year among friends of the land by taking a hike with the NLC through the Mashpee River Woodlands.
