Trustees Annual Report 2022

The Trustees

Annual Report | 2022

Fiscal Year

MESSAGE from the Chair

Despite a number of challenges, I believe 2022 was a very successful year for The Trustees, as we worked to complete the final year of the Momentum strategic plan and its landmark fundraising campaign. Five years after the plan’s start in 2018, we have achieved its bold vision through a tireless commitment to meeting the needs of the public while treasuring the ecological resources in our care. As you read this Annual Report, I hope you will feel the great sense of pride that I feel at the accomplishments of this venerable and beloved organization.

2022 was a year of change, most notably in our leadership with John Judge’s departure. While change is always unsettling, The Trustees is a strong and resilient organization. It is a tribute to our dedicated volunteers, Members, donors, and staff that we can celebrate so many great achievements this year.

I’m immensely grateful to Nicie Panetta, who ably stepped in as Interim President & CEO to lead The Trustees during this time of transition. She has worked tirelessly, achieving very positive results, stabilizing the organization, and advancing many important initiatives. Thanks to her very adept and thoughtful management, The Trustees continued to thrive with Nicie at the helm.

As this report goes to print, I am very pleased that Katie Theoharides has assumed her post as the 6th President and CEO of The Trustees. Katie brings excellent leadership experience to The Trustees together with a passion for the environment and connecting people with nature and the outdoors. We look forward with great confidence and excitement to Katie’s tenure.

As always, we are grateful to you for your generous and steadfast support of The Trustees and our collective mission. It is because of you that we can and will continue to accomplish so much as the conservation leader in Massachusetts.

Peter B. Coffin Chair, Board of Directors

MESSAGE from the President

As I complete my tenure as Interim President & CEO and we welcome Katie Theoharides as The Trustees’ new leader, I look back on the past year with deep gratitude. I am so thankful to our staff, governance, Members, and stakeholders who give of themselves unstintingly to ensure that our beloved organization stays strong. Two strengths of our organization have served us especially well this last year: our commitment to our mission, and our unique capacity to connect with people statewide across the rich diversity of our places and programs.

As we navigated an extended leadership transition, I was humbled every day to witness the unshakeable commitment to our mission from my staff and Board colleagues and from our Members and supporters across the Commonwealth. This commitment expresses our shared and renewed sense of urgency to protect and share the Massachusetts places people love for their exceptional scenic, historic, and ecological value. Our founders had a vision of living in harmony with that which sustains us and of ensuring that all our neighbors will be nourished by nature. This vision resonates deeply as we seek to respond equitably to climate change and the crisis of biodiversity. This shared clarity of purpose is an inexhaustible wellspring of energy to move us forward, and we have so much more to do.

Our dynamic range of offerings allows us to meet audiences wherever they are, with whatever sparks joy for them: from kayaking the Great Marsh, to growing flowers and vegetables in a community garden, to citizen science projects in our grassland bird habitats, to a day of art in nature at deCordova, or a sunset concert at Weir River Farm. Our capacity to bring people together will be our engine for diversity, belonging, inclusion, and equity in all that we do.

In closing, I am especially grateful to our Board, to our CEO Search Committee, and to Katie Theoharides for rising to the challenge of leading The Trustees at this historic juncture. I ask that you join me in staying engaged in the year to come and supporting Katie as her vision takes shape.

Nicie Panetta Interim President & CEO

Fiscal Year 2022 financial results demonstrate that The Trustees has indeed, emerged strongly from the pandemic, despite a variety of challenges. We remain focused on growing sustainably in all important aspects including membership, public programming, and land conservation while our balance sheet continues to strengthen.

Our year-over-year growth was robust: operating revenue grew by nearly 20% over 2021 as COVID-related restrictions eased. Earned revenue from public programming, campgrounds and inns, property rentals, and CSAs was up more than 60%, demonstrating increased engagement with our properties. Membership revenue grew substantially as we closed in on 100,000 Membership households. Meanwhile, contributed revenue grew by 20% on the return of in-person fundraising events and strong operating support from donor-restricted gifts.

The diversity of our revenue sources is also critical to our revenue growth story. Contributions comprised only ¼ of our operating revenue while earned and membership revenues comprised more than 50% of the top line. Meanwhile, our endowment, built on the generosity of key supporters, continued to contribute nicely to our revenue.

Our balance sheet further illustrates the overall financial strength of The Trustees. Total assets grew by 9% to $423 million driven by a combined $35 million increase in invested assets due to portfolio appreciation and new contributions, as well as the acquisition of additional iconic properties including Armstrong-Kelley Park, Becket Quarry, and Moraine Farm.

While we may face some operating headwinds and capital investment needs over the next several years in light of the current macro-economic environment, we will continue robust pursuit of our mission of conservation, cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, healthy local agriculture, and enhanced public engagement.

ARMSTRONG-KELLEY PARK

BY JEFF HARDER

In whipping winds and pelting rain, Cindy Brockway still saw rays of sunshine when she set eyes on Armstrong-Kelley Park. It was October 2019 and Brockway was part of a Trustees contingent, led by late CEO and president Barbara Erickson, who’d shrugged off a Cape Cod nor’easter to poke around this rare slice of open space set back from Osterville’s village center. Despite topping out at just eight and a half acres, Armstrong-Kelley Park was full of surprises: manicured lawns and glorious flower beds, oaks and pines fringing trails and walking paths, a hand-dug fish pond and eye-catching specimen trees.

For its modest acreage, the property is eclectic and inviting: a partial inventory includes roughly 30 specimen trees and more than 250 rhododendron and azalea, a dazzling variety of magnolia, an apiary, garden rooms, and Liam’s Train, a childsized handmade wooden locomotive. “There’s so much diversity in its topography and in its growing conditions,” says Brockway, Trustees’ Program Director for Cultural Resources, “and it’s all within a small parcel of land.”

Since its founding in 1930, ArmstrongKelley Park has grown into the Cape’s largest and oldest privately-owned park open to the public; a year-round destination for families, dog walkers, and picnickers. The property’s splendid condition owes to the all-volunteer Cape Cod Horticultural

Society (CCHS), who nurtured and shaped its terrain with professional-level skill. But, as the years passed, the CCHS had found it harder and harder to find new recruits: younger generations scarcely have the time that maintaining the park demands. Meanwhile, the land that makes up Armstrong-Kelley Park hadn’t been permanently protected. In 2018, the CCHS met with one question on its mind: how can we secure the park’s future?

What happened next, says Diedre Dow-Chase, former CCHS President, was something like providence. A CCHS member’s nephew who worked for The Trustees mentioned that the organization was looking to expand in places where it hadn’t had a significant presence, like the Cape, and the two organizations began talking. A few weeks later, Dow-Chase was escorting Erickson, Brockway, and company around Armstrong-Kelley Park during that nor’easter. Their rain gear was still damp when Erickson told the CCHS to expect a letter of intent. “I’m glad I was sitting down when she told us,” Dow-Chase says. “…The Trustees has a world-class reputation and property management experience that can’t be found anywhere else.”

In 2020, both organizations approved a plan to integrate the park into The Trustees’ property portfolio, following a $2.2 million fundraising campaign. Though relinquishing the park was a difficult decision, Dow-Chase and her CCHS colleagues are confident it was the correct one. “We secured the park for future generations,” she says. There’s a decided advantage to the integration, too: infused with the resources of The Trustees, more people than ever are poised to visit this place that the CCHS has loved so deeply and so demonstrably. Until now, Dow-Chase says, new visitors have found Armstrong-Kelley Park after googling for someplace with picnic tables. “Almost to a person, they tell us that this is the best-kept secret on Cape Cod. Now I say to them: ‘not for much longer.’”

BECKET HISTORIC QUARRY & FOREST

A bucolic glimpse into our industrial past

BY JEFF HARDER

Off of Quarry Road in the town of Becket, a snapshot of the western Berkshires’ industrial past presents itself at walking speed. Pebbly debris spilling down a ridge like crumble from a coffee cake, rusted compressor trucks that haven’t moved in more than 70 years, a half-mile access road that was once a rail bed, a massive crane towering above 75-foot cliffs that rise from an inky pool—all are relics of a quarry that, for nine decades, extracted and transported prized granite before being abandoned to the elements. It’s as though one day the quarrymen simply walked off the job and never came back.

In part, Becket Historic Quarry and Forest is an archaeological record of New England’s industrial heritage left in situ. But since the late 1990s, after the Becket Land Trust (BLT) prevented the quarry’s commercial revival, it’s grown into a cherished recreation destination with miles of trails alongside vital forest and wildlife management areas. In October 2021, after swelling crowds compelled the land trust to find a partner to take ownership of the site, The Trustees took ownership and assumed management of the property, breathing new life across 280 enigmatic acres.

From its beginnings in the 1860s, The Chester-Hudson Granite Quarry earned a reputation for extracting Chester blue granite, a high-quality stone primarily used to construct tombstones and other

monuments—mementos in high demand in the years following the Civil War. But the quarry eventually fell on hard times, struggling financially before ultimately becoming insolvent in the 1940s. In 1999, the nascent BLT galvanized citizens around an alternative to the quarry’s potential development as a source for paving material for Boston’s Big Dig, raising funds to acquire the property for recreation and historic preservation.

With the property secured, the land trust—whose board members had expertise in forestry and museums—shaped the landscape into a destination for recreation, history, and conservation. Seven miles of hiking and cross-country skiing trails wind through the property, some of which trace the quarry’s original transport routes. The trust also established 20 acres of oak regeneration forest and 40 acres of New England cottontail management area. But with only a handful of staff and growing renown, the Becket Land Trust was stretched thin. After welcoming some 14,000 pandemic-weary visitors in 2020—an all-time high—Smith and company found a partner suited to care for the quarry in The Trustees.

Though there have been a series of improvements, including an accessibility upgrade for the access road tracing the former rail bed, new trail mapping, and blazes, the property hasn’t strayed from its diverse character. Brian Cruey, the Trustees’ Portfolio Director for the Southern

Berkshires, recommends visitors trek around the old quarry site, then take side excursions on the smaller routes through the conservation areas. At the highest elevations, the vistas stretch out to the Pioneer Valley and Mount Greylock. “There are seven miles of trails here, which is quite extensive for a site of this size, so give yourself some time to explore,” he says. And around every corner, these enigmatic 280 acres bear the patina of the past.

Policy and Advocacy Update

Over the last year, Trustees advocacy staff have worked on several state and federal priorities, with the partnership and support of lawmakers, administrative officials, and non-profit organizations. Here is a look back at some of the major accomplishments and what these milestones mean for our staff, our Members, and our Commonwealth.

PUBLIC LANDS PROTECTION ACT

Following more than 20 years of advocacy from a coalition of land conservation organizations, the Public Lands Protection Act (PLPA) passed in November 2022, signed into law by Governor Baker. The PLPA will strengthen existing safeguards to preserve public open space in the Commonwealth. Prior to passage of the PLPA, under a policy known as “No Net Loss,” open space converted to a different use—but protected under Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution—was replaced with land of equivalent financial and natural resource value.

The PLPA will benefit the communities across Massachusetts and speaks to the heart of The Trustees founding 130 years ago, to ‘preserve these scenes of natural beauty which, by great good fortune, still exist near [our] doors.’ In addition to providing more transparency and formality to the process of replacing developed public land, the PLPA also helps to protect Environmental Justice communities that lack adequate open spaces by strengthening protections for dwindling natural areas that can help to cool urban heat islands, absorb excess rainwater, improve local outdoor recreation, enhance public wellness, and improve quality of life.

OFFICE OF OUTDOOR RECREATION

A new Office of Outdoor Recreation has been created within the Commonwealth’s Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs to support and stimulate the statewide outdoor recreation economy. Massachusetts is now the 18th state to create such an entity, and following four years of advocacy on behalf of its creation, The Trustees stand ready to partner with the HealeyDriscoll Administration to help grow the new office to increase and improve outdoor experiences for all Massachusetts residents and visitors.

STATEWIDE FUNDING FOR LAND CONSERVATION AND ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION

Significant investments made by state legislative leaders as part of an economic development and relief package will help to support physical health and well-being, mental health, natural systems, and climate resilience. The legislation was signed into law by Governor Baker in November 2022. The Trustees is particularly grateful for $175 million for statewide land conservation, parks, trails, farms, waterfront parks, and ecological restoration, including coastal wetlands and salt marsh. Of this funding, $75 million is dedicated to benefit Environmental Justice communities.

OUTDOOR CITIES & URBAN CONSERVATION

The Trustees received $2 million in federal funding for the future Piers Park III in East Boston, in an effort led by Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey and supported by Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley. The award was included in the federal budget signed by President Biden in March 2022. Additionally, The Trustees received $2 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds through a state economic development spending package signed into law by Governor Baker in November 2022. We are grateful to the leadership of state Representative Adrian Madaro and state Senator Lydia Edwards for securing this funding to support this critical project that will support their East Boston constituents and visitors from Greater Boston and beyond.

“We are so grateful for the collaboration and support of our colleagues, non-profit partner organizations, and state and federal lawmakers who work tirelessly on behalf of constituents around the state,” says Linda Orel, Trustees Senior Director of Government Relations. “Looking back at 2022, it has been a year of progress toward a greener, healthier, and more resilient and equitable Massachusetts, and we look forward to pushing for even greater strides in 2023.”

Adrian Madaro, State Senator Lydia Edwards, U.S. Senator Edward Markey, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley.

Report Provides Climate Impact Projections for South Coast Communities

The Trustees released its third State of the Coast report in September 2022, this edition focusing on the Buzzards Bay and Narragansett Bay-facing communities of the Massachusetts South Coast region. The publication is the latest installment in a series of reports examining the challenges and opportunities for coastal zone communities along the vulnerable Massachusetts coast, intended to spark dialogue and action. Earlier editions covered the North Shore (released in 2020) and Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and the Elizabeth Islands (2021). Development of this year’s report again involved members of the local community, including collaboration with the Buzzards Bay Coalition and the Mashpee Wampanoag, each contributing a featured article for the report. State of the Coast pinpoints climatebased threats—such as impacts from

flooding events on habitat, infrastructure, and buildings—examines resources, and highlights adaptation methods. Notable findings on projected impacts for as soon as 2050 include potential inundation of more than 25% of Wareham’s buildings from a 10-year storm event, 23% loss of salt marsh (earlier than other regions of the state studied so far), and the potential for high

Art Installation Uses Climate Change Projections to Visualize Local Impacts

A New England-based art installation focused on climate change has arrived at seven Trustees North Shore reservations. The project is the brainchild of Tom Starr, a public artist and Professor of Graphic and Information Design at Northeastern University. Starr’s installation, titled Remembrance of Climate Futures uses signage with future-facing language

to tell the story of climate change impacts and how they are forecast to affect local marshes, beaches, habitat, infrastructure, and more. “The impacts outlined on the 15 signs draw on data used in our State of the Coast report for the North Shore region, as well as our statewide Climate Vulnerability Assessment,” noted Cynthia Dittbrenner, Trustees Director of Coast and Natural

tides to close the New Bedford hurricane barrier much more frequently than today. This edition of State of the Coast, as well as past reports, may be read and downloaded at thetrustees.org/coast.

Resources. “Sometimes these projections can seem abstract and far away, but when you apply them to familiar sites, it’s an eye-opening visual of what kinds of changes may happen in just the next few decades.” In 2021, Starr received funding from the Essex County Community Foundation to expand Remembrance of Climate Futures with 15 new partners such as The Trustees and the City of Salem. The project’s signs can be found at Coolidge Reservation in Manchester-by-the-Sea, the Crane Estate, Greenwood Farm, and Hamlin Reservation in Ipswich, Crowninshield and Gerry Islands in Marblehead, and Old Town Hill in Newbury.

A Shorebird Season on Martha’s Vineyard

BY SHEA FEE, TRUSTEES STAFF

The expansive and beautiful beaches of Martha’s Vineyard provide a space for islanders and visitors alike to recreate, escape the heat, and enjoy each season. These beloved places are also critical habitats for many species, including beach nesting birds. Shorebirds, overall, are a class of birds experiencing large-scale global declines and, as the largest private owner of protected coastline in the state, The Trustees manages its properties in a way that balances public access and enjoyment, while ensuring the success of threatened species.

All migratory birds are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and shorebird habitat is protected under State and Federal Wetlands Protections Acts. The birds actively managed on Trustees beaches

include the Piping Plover, American Oystercatcher, and Least Tern—the most abundant nesters—along with the Black Skimmer, Common Tern, and Roseate Tern.

The Trustees uses guidelines developed by state and federal governments to manage the shorebirds on its properties, and staff conduct intensive daily monitoring to document the birds’ successes and setbacks—which includes tracking nesting pairs, chicks and fledglings, communicating shorebird activity and movements with beach staff, and sharing information with the public. At the end of each season, ecology staff compose detailed reports on the season for submission to the state.

fledged 18 chicks—well above the USFWS target for oystercatchers of .50 fledglings per breeding pair.

Predation accounted for 36% of Piping Plover and 50% of oystercatcher nest losses, including from skunks, crows, and raccoons— all notorious egg lovers that can have serious impacts on ground nesting birds, especially if their populations become inflated due to a lack of natural predators and human food subsidies, as is the case on Martha’s Vineyard. Additional losses are harder to document, but evidence is clear that human disturbance (including from vehicles, pedestrians, and pets) is a factor.

Overall, Massachusetts has developed some of the most successful protection guidelines and management practices in the country. In the 2022 breeding season, 970 pairs of Piping Plovers nested on the shores of the Bay State, which is more than half of the entire North Atlantic breeding population.

While it is important to celebrate these birds’ successes, we must also acknowledge the growing mountain of challenges they face. Habitat loss from human activity and coastal development limit the options for birds to nest and successfully rear their young. Rising sea levels and more frequent and intense storm events due to climate change will increase the number of nests lost to overwash and lead to the ultimate steepening and narrowing of beaches.

The habitat in which these species live and breed is extremely limited, but Trustees beaches can help provide these birds with a safe space to rest, reproduce, and thrive. While Trustees staff put a significant amount of time and effort into the shorebird protection program, it ultimately takes a village, and efforts are ongoing to communicate with and educate visitors on the many ways they can help protect these important species long into the future.

In the summer 2022 season, a record 29 pairs of Piping Plovers nested on Trustees’ Martha’s Vineyard properties. This record is part of an encouraging trend: As nesting pairs have continued to increase statewide, so do breeding pairs on Trustees beaches. However, these intrepid pairs produced only 17 fledged young, achieving a final productivity of .59 fledglings per breeding pair—far below the federally instituted target of 1.24 fledglings per breeding pair, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) benchmark for productivity required to sustain and grow a healthy population. Meanwhile, the 19 oystercatcher breeding pairs on Trustees-managed beaches American

ELEVATING THE AWARENESS AND PROMISE OF PIERS PARK III

The Piers Park III project represents an important opportunity to build a resilient, welcoming public park along the East Boston Waterfront. The first park to be built under its Boston Waterfront Initiative, One Waterfront, The Trustees’ plan utilizes an abandoned and dilapidated pier adjacent to Piers Park—which opened to the public in 1995—and Piers Park II, being developed by Massport. Design work is now nearing completion, after having been in a multi-year, iterative process with the East Boston community with a goal of delivering a space that complements and celebrates existing and planned local parks, centers community needs, and aims to increase accessibility and visibility of the harbor while improving habitat.

In the past year, visibility and support of the Piers Park III project has grown dramatically. The Trustees received $2 million in federal funding for the project, in an effort led by Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey. Additionally, The Trustees received $2 million in state American Rescue Plan Act funds through an economic development spending package signed into law by Governor Baker in November 2022 (see Policy and Advocacy Update, page 8.)

The One Waterfront team also took part in the 2022 Earthshot Prize Awards event hosted in Boston by the Prince and Princess of Wales. Trustees Vice President of Urban Outdoors Vidya Tikku joined as Host Committee member, partnering with other local organizations involved in climate resilience work in Boston. During a walking tour in East Boston the day before the awards ceremony, Prince William and Princess Catherine were shown the abandoned pier that will become Piers Park III and Tikku shared details about the design plan, with its unique and exceptional access to the harbor. A variety of free, family-friendly programming has been offered this year to engage the community around Piers Park III, including music and dance performances, ecology outings, and bike tours, among others, with support from One Waterfront sponsors Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Converse, and TD Bank. Now in its third year, the Waterfront Ambassadors summer youth employment program welcomed 11 teens from Boston neighborhoods. Throughout the summer, the teens learned about waterfront issues in and around their communities, led interactive walking tours, provided kayaking excursions, and partnered with other local organizations to advance the Trustees mission in the area.

The CEO Roundtable acts as strategic connectors among public, social, and private sectors in support of the goals of One Waterfront.

RESPOND TO A CHANGING COAST

Making a Difference for our Shores

New volunteer programs provide opportunities for coastal research and education

BY CHRISTINE BOYNTON, TRUSTEES STAFF

Every year hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to more than 120 miles of coastline under Trustees care, a diversity of landscapes encompassing sweeping barrier beaches, expansive salt marsh, and rolling green lawns sloping towards the surf. And yet in the age of rising seas and stronger storms, these same places have become some of the most ecologically vulnerable parts of New England. Recent Trustees research—including a 2017 Climate Vulnerability Assessment and three State of the Coast reports (see page 9)—underscores impacts like flooding and erosion that are expected to intensify in the next decade and accelerate after 2050.

Now those who are drawn to these beloved reservations have ways to make a real impact on their future. The Trustees has several recently developed programs designed to give volunteers—seasoned veterans and newcomers alike—a better understanding of the challenges up and down the coast, and a chance to help find solutions. Working side-by-side with

experts in environmental sciences and ecology, volunteers in these programs benefit these precious landscapes while building tangible connections to the Trustees mission.

The Trustees Coastal Volunteer program officially launched on Earth Day 2018, with a coastal cleanup on Crane Beach that attracted over 200 participants. In the years since, these volunteers have become integral to a wide range of important work including a beach profiling program and salt marsh mosquito and breeding bird monitoring projects. Data from this work is gathered and tracked by Trustees ecologists, bolstering the in-depth work being done by staff on the ground, tracking and analyzing changes and trends.

“This data is valuable in many layers,” says Russ Hopping, Trustees Lead Coastal Ecologist. “When it gets to a certain volume you can see the patterns and it helps us do a better job of managing the coast. We can also use this kind of data to help visitors understand how the beach is changing.”

As interest in protecting and fortifying these critical landscapes has burgeoned, Trustees has recently begun a pilot program to prepare volunteers to share their knowledge, passion, and dedication with others as trained educators. With a robust curriculum including marine ecology and interpretation, the Coastal Education Volunteer (CEV) training program launched in late 2021 at Crane Beach. A group of 17 volunteers comprised the first cohort, preparing to become coastal educators. Upon completing the classwork, fieldwork, and on-the-ground training, these dedicated individuals were then able to provide support to Trustees programming and visitor engagement.

“‘People power’ is incredibly important [in this work] because you have to be present, and a paid staff of our size couldn’t hope to accomplish it all on our own,” says The Trustees’ Director of Volunteer Programs, Bob Bowers. “The contributing research data and tangible, physical labor that needs to happen is incredibly valuable, as is the thought partnership that we’re seeing from volunteers. This is hands-on work by a trained and empowered volunteer workforce on projects and initiatives that will truly make a difference.”

EXPANDED GARDEN SPACES, REMARKABLE PLANTS, HIKING AND INTERPRETIVE TRAILS, AND HORTICULTURAL EDUCATION

BY MEGHAN SHINN, EDITOR OF HORTICULTURE MAGAZINE

Nestled upon a drumlin in Beverly, Long Hill is a property that rose from a love of places near and far, and plants native and exotic. “Long Hill is The Trustees’ most diverse garden,” says Jared Bowers, Long Hill & Stevens-Coolidge Portfolio Director. “You can find blooms twelve months of the year among the huge variety here.” Long Hill is a dual-purpose destination, Bowers adds: a beautiful property to visit, and a place for gardeners to take part in educational programming. With The Trustees concluding a wide-ranging revitalization, Long Hill reemerges with preserved, polished beauty, and even more opportunities for horticulture enthusiasts to master their craft.

Long Hill encompasses 114 acres of sloped woods and fields once tended as farmland. In 1916, Ellery Sedgwick, editor of the Atlantic Monthly, and his wife Mabel Cabot Sedgwick purchased the property, built a unique and beautiful home, and crafted stunning gardens. Today, visitors can step inside the Sedgwicks’ home, with its intricate Charleston, SC-sourced carpentry—crafted by enslaved artisans whose stories are told in new interpretive displays—and colorful wallpaper, hand-painted in China in the early 1800s, decorating the main hall and staircase and creating a strong tie to the enchanting gardens that spread out from the building.

To appreciate how the Sedgwick Gardens relate to the house, each other, and the woodland, visitors today might start at these more formal spots. The terrace garden runs parallel to the rear of the house, a grassy rectangle outlined with neat beds and a brick retaining wall. A break in the wall accommodates steps that lead down to a lower, rectilinear terrace. From the lower terrace, paths lead to outer garden rooms with the wilder aesthetic. The forest itself can be explored, too, via a network of trails. The gardens’ twisting layout and sequence of bloom make Long Hill a place to visit

repeatedly. “Each time you go, you can have a totally different experience,” says Cindy Brockway, Managing Director of Cultural Resources.

Although the Sedgwicks planted for year-round interest, The Trustees team saw an opportunity to enhance and expand Long Hill’s seasonal appeal in summer with a new garden room: The Summer Garden, designed by landscape architect Julie Moir Messervy for an area that the Sedgwicks had started to develop. Entering through a portal of native hawthorn, visitors find an enchanting garden that employs features “that pay homage to the Sedgwick ladies,” Bowers says, referencing Mabel Cabot Sedgwick and Marjorie Russell Sedgwick— whom Ellery married after Mabel’s 1937 passing—both of whom were renowned horticulturists.

A spirit of discovery fuels the outbuildings and spaces at the base of the hill, known collectively as the Lower Campus and recently renovated to serve as a hub of horticultural learning. Gardeners of all skill levels learn in classrooms inside the farmhouse, where the Sedgwicks first stayed when they acquired the property. A former maintenance garage has been renovated to include a greenhouse and working space for students in horticultural programs. The existing Children’s Garden has been refreshed as a Discovery Garden— a learning space for those new to the wonders

of gardening and a place to facilitate the youngest visitors’ interactions with plants and nature. Even the property’s entrance has been reworked, providing a more comfortable and welcoming introduction to this destination.

Although we often think of public gardens simply as nice places to visit, they can also serve to advance the art and science of horticulture through research, best practices, and information sharing. To support this, renovations to Long Hill’s Lower Campus provide improved workspace for tasks like propagation. Trial beds allow staff to evaluate plants, collecting data upon which to base recommendations to local gardeners. Research centered here will extend horticultural learning beyond Long Hill as well—an exciting new program is underway to compare plant performance at Trustees properties in different regions of the state, which offer very different soil and temperature extremes.

Brockway says that Marjorie Sedgwick once described the gardens as “a friend above and a friend below,” a reference to the planted layers from ground covers to tree canopy. But Sedgwick’s words capture what Long Hill has become today: amid the beauty in the gardens above and the scholarship in the spaces below, this place offers deep friendship to all who visit.

Agriculture Report FARMING FOR RESILIENCE

An essential aspect of The Trustees’ agricultural strategy over the past year has been launching an initiative focusing on agroecology. Agroecology takes advantage of existing ecological processes to improve agricultural productivity while at the same time minimizing tradeoffs between agricultural production and ecosystem functioning or biodiversity. It can also help us bridge the perceived value divide between acreage reserved for conservation versus production acreage.

Much has been achieved in the successful launch of this program. Among the accomplishments, we created and staffed a new, full-time Agroecologist position and have begun shaping several critical trials across our farms. We expanded existing ecological monitoring and paired it with ongoing monitoring of agricultural productivity and quality. A rotational grazing study at Appleton Farms is providing an opportunity to compare the effects of different strategies on vegetation productivity, weight gain, invasive and weedy species, grassland nesting birds,

and soil health. And a comprehensive statewide farm soil assessment established data useful for tracking soil health and subsequent changes over time.

Climate change mitigation, carbon sequestration, and reduction of greenhouse gases have also been focal points of the Trustees agriculture team’s work this year. By exploring and defining the best climatesmart practices available to our farmers, we can prove that agriculture is a solution to climate-related changes rather than a cause of them. These practices include emphasizing reduced tillage, soil fertility and health, maintaining biodiversity, and carefully managed rotational grazing. Through a system based on livestock and field crop integration with minimal tillage, creating an efficient nutrient cycle where natural fertility comes from cover crops and livestock manure, we will achieve increased soil organic carbon and less greenhouse gas emissions.

Trustees methods set an example in certified organic vegetable and grass-based livestock production. Unlike intensive

industrial agriculture—which relies on chemical inputs and heavy machinery to support a single crop—the regenerative agriculture that takes place on Trustees farms is a holistic approach to farming that leverages the power of photosynthesis to close the carbon cycle, building soil and natural crop resilience. These practices strengthen our agricultural resources for future generations.

We are also proud to have built an experienced and collaborative farm team filled with the very best in their field, including two new field crop managers (at Powisset and Chestnut Hill Farms), as well as new livestock managers across our farms. Important work has also taken place between our farmers and other Trustees staff to improve the connection between the farms and farm visitors, and progress has been made towards important improvements in farm infrastructure, such as a new wash station at Chestnut Hill Farm.

Trustees Farms YEAR-ROUND DESTINATIONS

Trustees working farms continue to explore and offer numerous innovative and creative ways to provide a gathering space for all community members—to connect to each other, the land, and local food. As a result, these reservations have become year-round destinations, busy and bustling in every season, offering activities from cross-country skiing and wildlife tracking in winter to summertime pizza picnics and sunset concerts.

APPLETON FARMS, HAMILTON & IPSWICH

Appleton continued to amplify its robust programming calendar this year, including signature events like Farmhouse Wood-Fired Pizza and Farm Day, as well as numerous smaller offerings. Appleton’s beloved Farm Dinners returned with a new intimate and immersive format, featuring celebrated local chefs committed to seasonal sourcing. The Education team’s School Partnership Program maintained its work with Salem Public Schools, K-12 field study programs, and a variety of weekend programming, while the Farm Store continued to emphasize Trustees Grown products and a curated selection of locally made foods and handmade goods.

CHESTNUT HILL FARM, SOUTHBOROUGH

Summer 2022 marked the launch of the brand new Chestnut Hill Farm Camp, under the direction of the farm’s new education manager, bringing 134 campers from 27 cities and towns. After the camp season, public programs continued through the fall and winter, from hiking with goats to exploring the farm by moonlight or learning all about wool or wildlife tracking. The farm also excitedly welcomed a new field crop manager to oversee the production agriculture and CSA, while also collaborating on public programs.

POWISSET FARM, DOVER

Expanded programming has focused on bringing a diversity of audiences and age groups to Powisset. An all-ages emphasis included cooking classes: Tots in the Kitchen, Kiddos in the Kitchen, and a wide variety of adult classes led by the farm’s in-house chef. Farm-tofood connections have also been made through workshops, Farm Dinners, Date Nights at the Farm, and other events utilizing food grown in Powisset’s fields. A newly remodeled Farm Store offered a wider selection of locally made and Trustees Grown products and expanded winter hours.

THE FARM INSTITUTE, EDGARTOWN

This was an exciting year for The FARM Institute as participation in programs returned to pre-Covid numbers. Summer was bountiful, from the gardens and fields to the sold-out summer camp, daily tours, and weekly cooking classes. New for 2022, the farm hosted an intimate dinner in the middle of the one-acre sunflower field where the beauty of the sunflowers and shooting stars was only surpassed by the local feast created by Chef Gavin Smith. Residential programs were also welcomed back as the farm hosted Our Sister School’s 6th and 7th grades for a three-day trip in September.

WEIR RIVER FARM, HINGHAM

The farm has continued to build on its successful and growing sensory-friendly programs, partnering or collaborating with eight different organizations that support neurodiverse audiences. This included both private and public programs, a presence at large-scale events, co-leading walks or hikes, or utilizing the farm as an event space of their own. A very busy schedule of successful programs ranged from family experiences to adult programs and included a focus on new workshops and skill-building, such as plein air painting, photography, and composting workshops.

ART at THE TRUSTEES

BY JESSICA MAY, MANAGING DIRECTOR, ART AND EXHIBITIONS, AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, DECORDOVA SCULPTURE PARK AND MUSEUM

Art and nature exist in regularly irregular harmony: one influences the other in ways both readily apparent and remarkably subtle, a symbiosis from which we all benefit. Now, Art at The Trustees—a broad initiative comprising all of the organization’s art-based programming—takes a fresh approach to exploring the connections between creative expression and the natural world.

The initiative showcases innovative and thought-provoking exhibitions, installations that interpret and respond to Trustees landscapes and cultural locations, and engaging performances that celebrate the special places in The Trustees’ care. Through ambitious programming all around the Commonwealth, Art at The Trustees elevates fresh perspectives while inviting diverse audiences to experience the wonders of the world outside.

From The Trustees’ inception in 1891, art has played an important if subdued role in the organization. In early documents, Charles Eliot and his fellow Trustees created a memorable point of comparison between their own work and the nation’s great art museums. “Lovers of nature,” they wrote, “will rally to endow The Trustees with the care of their favorite scenes, precisely as the lovers of Art have so liberally endowed the Art Museums.” Indeed, the parallel was apt in more ways than one, and Eliot understood, as did many civic leaders of his day, the complementary power of art and nature in public life.

Eliot’s understanding of the ways in which we see nature continues to inspire The Trustees’ visual arts programs. Intertwined with our other senses, we appreciate the natural world not least for its scenes of spectacular natural beauty. In the face of global climate change, we rely more than ever on artists to help us understand our relationship to the world around us, its histories, meaning, and resonance in our lives.

Under the Art at The Trustees umbrella, we presented the latest iteration of our Art & the Landscape series of original commissions: Counterculture by Rose B. Simpson, a mixed media artist based in Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico (pictured on the cover). In this remarkable project, Simpson has created 12 figures, each towering at ten feet tall, that watch over the landscape of Field Farm in Williamstown and all its visitors like matriarchal sentinels.

ViewEscapes, a major survey of the sculpture of American modernist George Rickey (1907-2002), was on view at Naumkeag throughout the 2022 season. This exhibition offered deeply researched insights into Rickey’s life and legacy and reframed

the stunning viewshed of Naumkeag through the eyes of an artist utterly devoted to making complex artworks that appear to hover, shimmer, and float.

The Trustees’ two museums—deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln and Fruitlands Museum in Harvard—joined together to present the monumental exhibition, The New England Triennial. This spectacular project featured 25 artists and offered a remarkably diverse and wide-ranging perspective on contemporary art and artists. The Triennial represents both tradition and innovation—innovative because of its elegant unfolding over two museums, studded by artist performances; traditional because the exhibition has been recurring since 1989—when deCordova began its annual survey of artists working in New England, which quickly became the standard-bearer on its exhibition calendar and in the contemporary art community.

Finally, this season’s outdoor exhibitions at deCordova cast the beloved sculpture park in a new light. The Trustees worked with New York City’s Public Art Fund to bring Melvin Edwards: Brighter Days to deCordova through spring 2023. Edwards is one of America’s foremost abstract sculptors and is known for infusing objects from everyday life with the resonance of Black American history. This outdoor exhibition offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see a retrospective of Edwards public art from 1970 to the present and to experience the historic landscape afresh, just as Charles Eliot hoped we would.

HAVEWILLNATURE, TRAVEL

BY VICTORIA ABBOTT RICCARDI

It’s a bright May afternoon in New Bedford’s Buttonwood Park and Megan Dixon, The Trustees’ Mobile Engagement Manager (pictured, right), finishes setting up myriad nature-based activities and models for a pop-up event. Two cornhole boards lie near a quilt holding binoculars, bird books, plush birds, and a sensory box filled with goodies like rubber frogs and a wooden snake. An information table displays a state map of Trustees properties, mini microscopes, silicone beaver and deer tracks, a jarred monarch butterfly wing, and a honeybee lifecycle model.

“Want to help me build a fort?” Dixon asks a curious boy. His mom nods and the boy runs to join Dixon, who ties a piece of twine around three bamboo sticks to form a tipi shape. Then, he takes the lead and the two start expanding the structure.

NATURAL RESOURCES

An hour later, the boy is still engineering the bamboo harvested from nearby Allen C. Haskell Public Gardens. “Mobile Adventures tries to use natural resources for many of its activities and crafts,” says Dixon, noting that a designated plot at Haskell grows flowers and plants for crafts like watercolor painting flowers, making sun catchers, flower crowns, and fairy houses.

This bonanza of nature-based fun is part of a new Trustees program called

Mobile Adventures. Generously funded by the Yawkey Foundation, it consists of fully electric Ford Transit van visiting parks, festivals, community events and centers in urban communities to help kids, ages six through 12, engage with the outdoors. The van holds STEAM programming resources for coastal exploration, forest and geology investigations, and adventure- and craft-based activities. Four Outdoor Educators help facilitate each event, with approximately five events staged weekly.

“Mobile Adventures evolved to reach more diverse audiences, particularly in urban communities where we might not have properties,” says Jen Klein, Ph.D.,

Director of Outdoor Experiences, who conceived the idea. “Not everyone has a car and it shouldn’t always be about people coming to us, but how we can bring the Trustees experience to people where they are.”

NATURE IN DEMAND

In 2022, Mobile Adventures held 47 events in Boston, Fall River, and New Bedford over a 13-week season. The initiative worked with 30 partner organizations and engaged 5,500 plus people, including over 1,500 kids. Says Dixon, “Having a good time outdoors promotes mental health and wellbeing and the goal for Mobile Adventures is ultimately to be in Gateway Cities across the state with professional staff on each site.”

“I see Mobile Adventures as a long-term initiative,” says Klein. “When the van goes to a park—the idea is to inspire that kid to go back to that park. The second goal is to have them come to a Trustees property and hike. Then, way down the road, maybe become a lover of conservation and possibly even a Trustees member.”

EDUCATION UPDATE: LEARNING THROUGH CONNECTION

BY KRISTEN SWANBERG, MANAGING DIRECTOR, ENGAGEMENT, EDUCATION, & VISITOR ANALYTICS

Trustees reservations provide unequaled platforms for exploration, discovery, learning, and creativity for all ages—especially kids and teens. Deepening the connection our youth have with the wonders of the natural world is a priority for the organization. Our education teams have been busy in recent years building out new opportunities for schools, youth organizations, and families throughout Massachusetts in order to provide immersive experiences in nature and place—from field trips to afterschool programming, summer camps, internships, and seasonal employment. Here are highlights and examples of several education programs currently underway.

LOCAL SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS

Trustees special places are remarkable learning laboratories and our education teams are busy building partnerships with

local schools. School groups participate in field trips to Trustees properties that immerse students in authentic learning experiences, building on their classroom lessons while connecting them to local resources. With topics for children, teens, and young adults alike—ranging from coastal ecology to horticulture, agroecology, and contemporary art—the learning opportunities at Trustees reservations are rich and robust. At Appleton Farms this year, kindergarten and 1st grade students from Salem’s Witchcraft Elementary School planted their own seeds and bulbs in the Learning Garden. The school’s 5th graders visited three times throughout the year so they could follow the seasonal rhythms of the farm. Brockton’s George Elementary School brought students to Weir River Farm to learn about habitat and adaptation. High school students in Harvard came to Fruitlands Museum to immerse themselves in local history. In the past year, more than

5,800 PK-12th grade students participated in the 219 school and youth program visits to Trustees special places, and we expect continued growth in the years to come.

URBAN YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS

We have also partnered with youth organizations such as YES Boston (Youth Enrichment Services) and Big City Mountaineers. The collaboration brought youth from Boston and other urban communities to Rocky Woods for guided hikes, pond explorations, and canoe trips. Several groups took part in overnight camping experiences at Tully Lake Campground, Rocky Woods, and Dunes’ Edge Campground. We are excited to expand these and other partnerships as we expand our work with urban youth.

INSPIRING TEENS

Trustees staff continue to share our work with high school youth through unique programs. The environmental studies students from the Norfolk County Agricultural High School took part in a five-week internship that brought them to ten Trustees properties. The students and their teacher worked alongside Trustees staff learning firsthand about stewardship, archives, agriculture, historic homes, horticulture, and more. This deep dive into The Trustees provides real-world context to their classroom learning and illustrates

various career pathways. On Martha’s Vineyard, five local high school students took part in the Claire Saltonstall Environmental Internship program. They shadowed Trustees staff during the summer months learning about coastal ecology, land management, engagement, and shorebird conservation. Building on this program, The Trustees launched a year-round Youth Coastal Ambassadors Program (YCAP) on the Vineyard, connecting Island high school students interested in coastal studies with Trustees stewardship and resilience work. Like the summer internship program, YCAP is designed to help teens develop skills in leadership, stewardship, public engagement, and education. In Boston, the Waterfront Ambassadors program engaged teens in community outreach work around the Piers Park III project in East Boston as they participated in service projects and

professional development activities while learning about waterfront issues in and around their neighborhoods. Designing programs that provide teens with authentic experiences in the conservation field is a priority as we advance our education work.

SUMMER CAMPS

This past summer, The Trustees launched our ninth summer day camp, at Chestnut Hill Farm in Southborough—joining popular camps at Appleton Farms, the Crane Estate, deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Powisset Farm, Rocky Woods, Weir River Farm, World’s End, and The FARM Institute. 3,500 campers participated in a variety of activities at Trustees camps, from pickling farm fresh vegetables to making butter, catching crabs and walking goats, nature journaling, and constructing outdoor art installations. Despite a challenging heat

wave—which inspired creative new forms of waterplay, conserving energy, and finding shade—our campers had memorable experiences at all of the Trustees’ farm, coastal, nature, and art camps. To help ensure the camp experience is available to more children who might be interested, scholarships were increased, and improvements were made to the aid process in order to provide greater access for more than 70 families in varying financial situations.

The Trustees education initiatives continue to expand each year as we build partnerships and design programs that inspire a sense of wonder in our youth and foster the next generation of conservationists, stewards, environmental leaders, and informed citizens.

For Everyone, Forever

TRACKING SUCCESS

To begin to track performance metrics and provide a snapshot of our progress, the DBIE team has established a dashboard to visually represent initiatives and programs from across the organization that align with the Roadmap. The initial dashboard represents foundational data that will serve as a baseline for ongoing tracking and assessment. A partial representation of the dashboard—showing data from the areas of Programs and Capacity Building—is shown below.

DBIE Dashboard: 2022

Embarking on the journey toward Diversity, Belonging, Inclusion, and Equity

The Trustees’ commitment to Diversity, Belonging, Inclusion, and Equity (DBIE) is deeply grounded in our mission to protect and share Massachusetts’ iconic places for everyone, forever. Together, we carry forth this belief by seeking to create inclusive and welcoming spaces for Trustees visitors, Members, volunteers, staff, and communities. We acknowledge that creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome will be a learning journey for the organization and for all of us as individuals.

Our DBIE Roadmap sets out a vision for creating a more inclusive and welcoming Trustees, focusing on the shared collective work of implementing learning, communication, investment, and measurement strategies across three pillars: People & Culture, Audiences & Places, and Suppliers & Vendors. This multi-year plan, with targeted pillars and initiatives, is designed to infuse DBIE policies, practices, and programming into all aspects of the organization—from programming and visitor experience to internal learning

and development, and governance recruitment initiatives. We will achieve this vision by incorporating inclusive and welcoming practices, policies, and programming at our properties and in our workspaces and by prioritizing efforts to reach, engage, invite, and support our BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community members, and our community members with disabilities.

Under the DBIE Roadmap, we have accomplished a significant increase in the physical accessibility of our reservations through property enhancements, accessible and sensory-friendly programming, and data collection for an accessible trails inventory. We will also continue to develop our relationships with Indigenous communities through the establishment of an Indigenous Relations Framework and Engagement Strategy, which will allow The Trustees to create a coordinated statewide strategy and approach for managing and expanding these important partnerships.

BY THE NUMBERS

In the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic, property visits and Membership revenue continued to rise as they did the previous year. As vaccinations allowed in-person gatherings to become more possible, program participation and volunteering saw significant rebounds from the first year of the pandemic. Visitation continued to rise, and Membership growth remained strong as many more people found meaning and value in The Trustees’ special places, and many who joined in the first year of the pandemic acknowledged their support of the Trustees mission and the importance of their Memberships by renewing for another year.

Stewardship

Over the course of the five years of the Momentum strategic plan, Stewardship has established new routines for ongoing regular assessments of baseline standards on Trustees reservations, and has completed two full assessment cycles—meaning every asset on each of the organization’s 120+ reservations has been assessed at least twice in the last five years. Assessments are conducted over eight different mission-based programs—Buildings, Collections, Community Gardens, Designed Landscapes, Ecological Landscapes, Entrances, Living Collections, and Trails. The baseline standard goal is for 70% of a property’s assets to achieve a rating of “Good” or better, with anything receiving a lower score triggering an action plan to return its score to “Good”. Since 2018, Stewardship has improved conditions at 45 reservations in order to bring them above the baseline standards, an increase of nearly 85%.

NOTE: Cash basis. Includes Membership dues and gifts below $1,000.

Nearly five years ago, The Trustees embarked on a strategic direction to rapidly scale our conservation and programming efforts to address the great environmental challenges of our day. Entitled Momentum, the five-year strategic plan was devised to look deeply at the challenges and problems of our 21st-century world and build a comprehensive mechanism to respond with fervor and passion—befitting the legacy that Charles Eliot established when he created this organization in 1891.

Thanks to our dedicated friends and supporters, the $216 million raised has far surpassed the $175 million campaign goal to support the initiatives of the Momentum plan. This funding has allowed the organization to save landscapes under threat of development, launch groundbreaking, first-in-the-nation projects fortifying our coastlines, and invest in new programs and learning centers for younger audiences of all backgrounds to discover the natural wonders hidden in their own backyards.

We are pleased to share some of the organizational accomplishments, among many others, enabled by the campaign to date (organized by the five strategic plan pillars):

PROTECT THE PLACES PEOPLE LOVE

The Momentum campaign has provided the ability to strengthen communities through shared open space, opening hundreds of acres of newly protected land for public use and enjoyment.

New reservations: Gerry Island, deCordova Sculpture Park & Museum, The Brickyard, Jewell Hill, Mary Cummings Park, Armstrong-Kelley Park, and Becket Historic Quarry & Forest. Acquired the central 66-acre parcel at Moraine Farm, allowing the organization to reunite and restore this historic Frederick Law Olmsteddesigned masterpiece.

ELEVATE OUR CULTURAL AND AGRICULTURAL EXPERIENCES

Through Momentum, we have revitalized several world-class public gardens, expanded farm-based culinary and local food access programs, and provided new and engaging perspectives on the stories of our culture.

Completed multi-year transformations of Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens and Long Hill into expansive and welcoming public gardens and horticultural centers.

INVITE THE NEXT GENERATION OUTSIDE

Momentum is providing the opportunity to reach children of all backgrounds and reveal the wonders and benefits of the outdoors. These early-life experiences help create lifelong lovers of nature, better outdoor citizens, and the future stewards of our irreplaceable landscapes.

Opened four new summer day camps— at Powisset and Chestnut Hill Farms, Rocky Woods, and deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum—and expanded overnight camping facilities at Dunes’ Edge Campground and Rocky Woods. Established Outdoor Experiences, to advance recreation opportunities and adventure playscapes, and to welcome and support organizations that serve youth in communities with limited access to nature.

BUILD THE TRUSTEES OF THE FUTURE

The Momentum campaign has established goals and initiatives designed to create a solid foundation on which to build a better, more sustainable future for The Trustees.

Established a Diversity, Belonging, Inclusion, and Equity roadmap in order to create more welcoming and inclusive spaces of belonging for all people. Substantial investments in technology infrastructure—including a new website, ticketing software, and data resources to support all aspects of the organization—and services to support a rapidly expanding membership base. Created the Barbara Erickson Land Conservation Fund (see page 24), which provides funding for critical protection projects that, for reasons of timing or cost might otherwise be beyond the reach of the organization.

These are just a few of the new programs, initiatives, and resource investments that have been made possible by the Momentum campaign. Momentum has set the foundation for the organization’s future and allowed The Trustees to rapidly scale and implement our vision for a better, brighter, and greener Massachusetts. Our sincerest thanks to all of the donors to this campaign—it is through your generosity and commitment to our mission that Momentum is now the most successful campaign in Trustees history.

Barbara Erickson Land Conservation Fund

Following her untimely passing in January 2021, The Trustees established the Barbara Erickson Land Conservation Fund to honor Barbara— our president and CEO since 2012—and her extraordinary legacy. The Barbara Erickson Land Conservation Fund is the organization’s first internal source of funding dedicated solely to the creation of new reservations, allowing for the protection and preservation of land that might otherwise be outside the organization’s reach.

“The creation of a land fund was always a long-held dream for Barbara. She would have been so proud to see it become a reality and so incredibly grateful to all the donors who have helped make that dream come true,” said Trustees Chief Development Officer Ed Wilson. “It is a fitting capstone to her incredible career and a wonderful legacy for a leader we were privileged to call our friend.”

In just 22 months, far faster than anyone predicted, more than 230 donors completed the $10 million matching gift challenge and

raised a total of $34 million in endowment funds. This incredible achievement is a testament to Barbara’s leadership and the impact she had on the people around her. Now, with the full match in hand and the endowment funded, The Trustees can look toward identifying and acquiring these places of exceptional scenic, historic, and cultural value.

A small portion of the fund was already directed toward the 2022 acquisition of Moraine Farm, a Frederick Law Olmsteddesigned landscape and historic estate in Beverly. About $1 million from the fund went toward the purchase of a 66-acre parcel at Moraine, a major acquisition in The Trustees’ Momentum campaign, the five-year fundraising campaign Barbara launched as CEO in 2018.

Including the Barbara Erickson Land Conservation Fund, the Momentum campaign raised more than $50 million in endowment funding, supporting the protection and preservation of our state’s most special places for generations to come (see Powered by Momentum, page 22).

The future of The Trustees and the future of the Commonwealth will be shaped by Barbara’s vision and her belief in the rejuvenating power of the outdoors. The Trustees is proud to continue this work in Barbara’s memory.

MORAINE FARM, BEVERLY

Making Our Garden Grow

BY VICTORIA ABBOTT RICCARDI

Spending time in nature has been a lifelong passion for Barbara and Stan Schantz. Barbara fondly remembers playing with her sister in the woods behind her family’s Lynn home, while Stan, a Cub Scout and Boy Scout, relays the joy of summering at his family’s one-room schoolhouse in Osceola, NY. There, he and his brother fetched drinking water from a nearby spring and the family ate meals cooked on a wood-burning stove, which also supplied the heat. Says Stan, “When people ask, ‘Why did you include The Trustees in your estate planning? Why conservation?’, it all goes back to Barbara’s and my youth and our love of the out-of-doors and woods.”

The Schantzes became members of the Semper Virens Society in 2011 when they designated The Trustees as the beneficiary of their Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) at Fidelity Investments, where Stan had a career working in systems services. Stan has been a strong advocate for planned giving through a DAF, less for its unique tax benefits, but more as a way to help sustain organizations like The Trustees. “I have been pushing the DAF for years because it’s an extremely convenient way to give to charity,” says Stan.

The Schantzes, who have one daughter and live in Middleton, gave their first

gift to The Trustees in 2001. “It was the organization’s mission that fit with what we feel is important,” says Barbara. “Free land is disappearing and special places need to be preserved. As our work lives ended, we started volunteering and getting more involved in the organization.”

In 2004, the pair became Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) members at Appleton Farms. At the time, Barbara, now retired, had a flexible job schedule in Human Resources at Harvard Medical School, which freed her up to plant seeds in the farm’s greenhouse before helping with the harvest. “I had already figured out that food insecurity will be very big in our lives as the climate changes and the more food that can be produced locally the better.” Several years later, Barbara took a landscaping course at Long Hill and The Stevens-Coolidge Place (as StevensCoolidge House & Gardens was known prior to 2020.) This experience deepened the couple’s involvement with both reservations, especially in 2006 when Stan retired. “I left Fidelity Investments on April 1, and on April 18, I did my first volunteer gig at The Trustees, clearing the trails at Long Hill.”

That experience, combined with the Schantzes’ love of gardening, led the couple

to help restore the perennial beds at Stevens-Coolidge and volunteer in the greenhouse at Appleton Farms for more than 10 years. Starting in 2007, Barbara led the effort to establish the Stevens-Coolidge Place Perennial Garden Volunteer Group, which was recognized as Volunteers of the Year in 2013 and subsequently became a model for other such efforts within the Trustees organization. These exemplary contributions led to even more involvement in governance. “Once you’re an active volunteer, then you get on committees,” says Stan, who was on the Stevens-Coolidge Place Committee with Barbara, served on the Stewardship Committee, the Advisory Board, and currently serves on the Chairman’s Council and as a Corporate Trustee.

These days, when the Schantzes aren’t traveling the world, they’re spending time on their favorite reservations, which Barbara notes are Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens, Appleton Farms, Long Hill, and the Crane Estate. “I continue to be impressed with how The Trustees has grown in the twenty-plus years that we’ve been part of the community,” says Stan. “Making a planned gift through our DAF was an easy way to help ensure the organization continues to grow strong and thrive.”

The Semper Virens Society

Semper Virens , which means “always green,” honors and recognizes generous individuals who have made a legacy gift to The Trustees. Since the first recorded bequest in 1902, support via wills and life income gifts has built and strengthened the Trustees mission. This strong financial base has provided important stability, enabling The Trustees to secure important landscapes and landmarks, acquire new reservations, implement innovative stewardship, share our conservation mission, and promote ongoing protection of threatened land across the state. We are delighted to list the members of the Semper Virens Society. In making a planned gift, these individuals have turned their passion into a legacy, and set an inspiring example for others to follow.
