During the month of April, GBLC is holding a Tree Seed Photo Challenge! Each week we will post a photo of a seed and ask you to identify it. When you submit your guess- even if it's right or wrong!- you will be entered into a raffle prize drawing and the winners will be randomly chosen on Arbor Day.

The GBLC team is working hard to make our special places and trails available during these challenging times. We ask you to please observe our COVID-19 Trail Rules below and enjoy the trails at the Lake Mansfield Conservation Forest and Pfeiffer Arboretum on Long Pond Road. Remember to enjoy these places safely.

Connecting with nature and sharing discoveries is a great way to support each other during challenging times. The Great Barrington Land Conservancy (GBLC) invites you to participate as a family or individual in this fun nature-focused activity at home.
