On Sunday, October 12th, 2025 a strong volunteer team and 75 champion walkers helped to provide our community with Great Barrington Land Conservancy’s premier Walk for Conservation. Friends and families used the event to connect with each other and show their support for a walkable community.
On Sunday, October 19th, twenty- two Hevreh volunteers gathered to help on the southern portion of the Riverfront Trail located on Bridge Street.
Their mission was to battle the invasive plants that are overwhelming this riparian ecosystem area. The industrious adults and kids quickly learned to identify and remove bittersweet, burning bush, and multiflora rose.
GBLC Board Member and work party leader Jane Angelini was impressed! " The group was so well organized and ambitious! I couldn't believe how hard they all worked and how much they accomplished! "
We are working to protect the historic northern red oak adjacent to the downstream section of River Walk on Bridge Street.
GBLC’s Walk for Conservation is a community event celebrating the importance of Trails for All.
All are welcome, you can pre-register or sign in at the Walk Start. Donations are welcome but not required.
The walk begins and ends at Olympian Meadows located at 578 S Main St, Great Barrington, MA (See Map and get directions)
