Ashburnham Conservation Trust (ACT) is a registered 501C3 organization that focuses on preserving the natural heritage of Ashburnham, MA. Since its establishment in 2000, ACT has facilitated the protection of over 5,500 acres of contiguous open space through various financing tools, grant writing, fundraising, and partnerships with the State and other land trusts. Their primary goal is to identify critical natural landscapes and water resources for conservation, while also providing access to passive recreation areas, advising landowners on tax credit programs, and educating the public on environmental matters.
ACT's latest project is the protection of 134 acres in the Bush Hill Town Forest, known as Howards Hill. This land, surrounded by previously protected areas, will be open to the public and contribute to the hundreds of acres of permanently protected open space in the region. ACT plans to enhance existing trails, provide parking, remove debris, and create habitats for pollinators and wildlife. They also organize fundraising events, such as a concert and dinner, to support their efforts in preserving Ashburnham's natural resources.
