A new report provides a roadmap for reforming state policies to support rapidly deploying renewable energy while avoiding impacts on nature and people.
Recommendations align with those of the MA Commission on Energy Infrastructure Siting and Permitting.

Last week, our team spent the day connecting with each other and nature at the beautiful @MassAudubon Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary! After a productive all staff meeting, we enjoyed a group hike, took a look at the vernal pools, and learned about the wildlife at the sanctuary.

Many thanks to @JamieEldridgeMA and @JoanMeschino for their leadership on H.861/S.475, the Drought Bill – we need a proactive response to drought as extreme weather becomes more frequent! TNC has joined @mass_rivers and many others in support of this important bill.
