Small, local, powerful…
HOW YOU CAN PROTECT, PRESERVE AND ENHANCE YOUR LOCAL ENVIRONMENT,
FOR FREE!
 
Money’s great: the big conservation groups need it to buy land, lobby politicians, pay for lawyers
and the like. But another way to green up your world is, to paraphrase Gandhi, ‘be the change.’
 
For over a decade the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens Alliance mission has been to
preserve the globally rare ecoregion we live within.
 
In that time, we have received numerous private, state, and federal grants, established the first
‘Regional Conservation Partnership’ in this area, created Pine Barrens signage for local roads
and state parks and... well, we’re still working at it.
 
What’s the secret to our success?
 
It’s simple: we put our passion into practice. We’re not proud: we are happy to contribute (or
help to coordinate) the efforts of other, established conservation organizations.
 
When we receive grants most if not all the funds go to other organizations. Because of that we
don’t have to worry whether what we do is politically expedient.
