Mission Statement

Recognizing the pressures on land use and also recognizing the rights of individual property owners, we believe that it is imperative to preserve and maintain the rural New England character of Williamstown and the surrounding area for the present and future generations. Change is inevitable and it is the foundation's aim to influence its direction to benefit all members of the community.

Goals of the Williamstown Rural Lands Foundation are to:

Promote appreciation of natural resources in the Town of Williamstown and environs and to stimulate education and research;
Preserve the natural environment by acquiring by gift or purchase natural, scenic, open and rural lands in Williamstown and environs; to identify those lands; and to act as an informational clearing house in cooperation with appropriate groups or individuals;
Identify and preserve ecologically sensitive land and to create protected wildlife habitats;
Promote land development which is beneficial to the community and to encourage development of housing which will help promote economic diversity of citizenship in Williamstown;
Raise funds to further the objects of the organization.
