A huge thank you to everyone who came out and helped us celebrate this big win last week! So many people from so many aspects of this journey coming together, lots of energy around the project, so good to be together!
Thank you to all those who spoke, from projects as established as the Valley Community Land Trust, one of the oldest land trusts in the country who holds the land VHC is on, to our newest land preserving entity the Valley Alliance for Land Equity, and more in between. Those speeches were recorded and are available below! In the time since we gathered, we’ve been enjoying reading articles by the Greenfield Reporter and Montague Recorder covering the event.
