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.
