The next steps for improvements at Lake Mansfield will include a number of plantings aimed at strengthening the habitat with native trees, shrubs, and perennials. The town of Great Barrington's Lake Mansfield Improvement Task Force continues to meet to support the Town's efforts as contractors move into their final tasks at Lake Manfeild.

You can donate your trees to be planted at Lake Mansfield this year!

Sept 9, 2004 - An industrious team of GBLC volunteers installed 3 Bobolink Signs at the McAllister Wildlife Refuge. Thanks to the design work of Ben Barrett, double locust posts were used to support these information signs located at key positions for observing Bobolinks when they are nesting (May - August).
