Our mission is to protect natural areas and farmland in the Town of Stow, in perpetuity, for the reciprocal health and well-being of wildlife, ecosystems, and all people. Through conservation of our natural lands and working farms, stewardship, and community collaboration, we safeguard scenic and historical lands, clean water sources, local food systems, and healthy biodiverse ecosystems.  Our efforts support climate change mitigation, dark night skies, educational experiences, and inclusive access to nature for everyone, enriching the quality of life for current and future generations of those in our community and beyond.
