Annual Report | 2018 Fiscal Year

MESSAGES from the Chair & President

A

As I complete my first full year as Board Chair, it gives me great pleasure to report that The Trustees has had a very busy 2018, full of accomplishments that continue the good work Charles Eliot began 127 years ago. We continue to be a fiscally robust organization, with no debt, strong fund raising and a growing membership base. We successfully completed the 2013-18 Strategic Plan, The Path Forward, and have launched our new Five-Year Strategic Plan, Momentum—providing a roadmap and clear focus for our efforts in the coming years.

There is much to celebrate over the course of the past year—the protection of Gerry Island in Marblehead and the expansion of Chestnut Hill Farm in Southborough, the opening of Windermere Community Garden in Dorchester, our new Mobile Farmers Market that brings locally grown produce to several neighborhoods of Boston that have limited access to fresh and healthy food, exciting partnerships that have created new educational opportunities for children from preschool age to high schoolers, new records for membership and annual giving, and so much more.

This report will give you a good look into The Trustees and how the organization plays a leading role in conservation and preservation. Its abundance of exciting ideas, activities, and strategies go a long way in keeping The Trustees vibrant, strong, and growing. None of what has been achieved could have been done without the support of our members, donors, and volunteers—especially our devoted Governance volunteers—and for that we are incredibly grateful. Thank you for helping us amplify our message to all corners of the state.

Preparing the Annual Report always brings back floods of memories of wonderful achievements over the course of the previous year. We have grown to new heights in membership, visitation, program participation, and revenue; we have protected more critical lands; furthered our commitment to our coast and the challenges we are just now beginning to face through the effects of climate change and sea level rise; improved our stewardship of our 117 reservations throughout the state; and begun important new projects that will transform several of our public gardens and cultural sites in the coming years. It’s important to take a moment to celebrate these accomplishments.

The launch of Momentum, our new Strategic Plan, was a highlight accomplishment of the past year—one that propels us forward even as we acknowledge the inspiring collaboration and combined efforts of all who helped bring it to fruition. We are already beginning to see tremendous results from our new focus on the elements of this plan, as we strive to protect the places people love, respond to a changing coast, elevate our cultural and agricultural experiences, invite the next generation outside, and build The Trustees of the future.

The passion this organization and its supporters—at all levels—exhibit for conservation in our Commonwealth always astounds me. You all provide the lifeblood for what we do.

You inspire us with your devotion and commitment to our cause. You are our driving force, and we are honored to carry out your work for this great state we call home. We hope you’ll find the pages of this report full of the great news of this important work over the past year, and full of promise for a very exciting future ahead for The Trustees.

Cash and cash equivalents

immediately following our successful 125th milestone anniversary, we continued to deliver on the goals outlined in the five-year strategic plan, The Path Forward. It has been an extraordinary period of growth and impact, and this year was no different. We have seen steady progress again due to several strategic investments in several sites and our infrastructure, as well as a strong staff and board that is focused on increasing awareness and building community throughout the state.

Our financial position remains strong, with $302 million in total assets and $296 million in net assets. The investment portfolio, which is now valued at over $150 million, remains an important component of the capital structure, supporting over 20% of annual operating revenues.

Property and program revenues have experienced continued success, and membership recorded another record year, with member households now totaling over 60,000. Finally, contributed income, both unrestricted support for our core activities and designated contributions for new projects, remains a critical component of our funding mix.

We are excited about building on the successes of the past five years, and we look forward to embarking on the ambitious goals set out in the new strategic plan, Momentum.

Ecology Report

Trustees’ ecology work is directed toward our most significant natural landscapes: in fact, for Fiscal Year 2018, we tripled the number of landscapes identified as ‘priority’ to 259 specific landscapes on which to focus. We now closely monitor 6,400 acres of ecological landscapes throughout the state. Most require active management to maintain their habitat value.

The scope of our ecology program and highlights of this past year’s work are as follows:

Grassland Management, Prescribed Fire & Habitat Restoration ©K.NOTMAN

Strategic management of landscapes helps improve critical habitats for tomorrow’s generation of flora and fauna, and our connections to them.

496 Acres of grassland habitat at 17 properties were assessed using 107 study plots for grassland birds and habitat characteristics. This information is crucial to understanding habitat quality and guides priority stewardship actions.

800 Acres of barrens habitat under management, which includes prescribed fire and mechanical mowing/thinning.

12 Acres of fire-dependent barrens habitat were burned

on Boston Hill at Ward Reservation to restore this priority community-type and rare species habitat.

Invasive Species & Deer Control

Rare coastal nesting shorebirds remain a focus for The Trustees, and many other rare species also need protection and management.

Invasive species and growing deer populations have proven a direct threat to forest regeneration, rare species survival, and wildlife populations.

properties, including piping plovers, least terns, common terns, roseate terns, American oystercatchers, and black skimmers.

11 Black skimmer chicks banded on Martha’s Vineyard as part of a joint project with BiodiversityWorks and MassWildlife to track the movements of the only black skimmer population to nest in the state.

76 Trustees properties (67%) support federal- or state-listed rare species.

Capital Improvement The Trustees' work in Boston—Then and Now

BY VICTORIA ABBOTT RICCARDI

Ever since Charles Eliot founded The Trustees in Boston in 1891, the city has remained a vital area of interest for the organization. Rapid development back in Eliot’s day sparked the young conservationist’s desire to create an organization that could preserve swaths of nature “as a valuable antidote to the poisonous struggling and excitement of city life.” His landscape design work, both alone and eventually through the Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot office, resulted in many of the beautiful parks and open spaces we see in Boston today.

“The work Charles Eliot began so many years ago is still vitally important today,” says Barbara Erickson, President & CEO of The Trustees. “He formed the organization to preserve access to open space for those that live and work in Boston, and we have always believed that imperative would one day extend to places within the city limits.”

Some of Eliot’s earliest endeavors involved working with Boston’s park commissions and committees to help them better understand how few open spaces Boston offered its residents, particularly in comparison to other major world cities, as well as how little public access there was to nearby rivers, lakes, and beaches. The result was the creation of the Metropolitan Park Commission, the first regional park system in the U.S., which within a mere twelve years of its establishment had protected nearly 10,000 acres of open space and 26 miles of public parkway around Boston.

BOSTON & BEYOND For the next several decades, The Trustees acquired a broad range of properties largely outside of Boston, mainly because that is where opportunities arose, but became involved with Boston again in 1968 when it hosted a Parkland Conference to share the 10 THE TRUSTEES

results of an open space and recreation study of Boston Harbor and the city’s three major rivers. One of the most important results of the conference was the establishment of the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Open Space and Outdoor Recreation, whose members included many affiliated with The Trustees, and whose mission was to review the Commonwealth’s open space and recreation needs and make recommendations to the Governor. The review yielded many landmark recommendations, including public ownership and control of the 34 islands of Boston Harbor. In the 1970s, the islands then became Boston Harbor Island State Park and in 1996 were designated as a National Park unit, managed by a partnership of member organizations including The Trustees.

The organization became active in Boston again through an affiliation with the Boston Natural Areas Network, which was founded in 1977 to help communities preserve and improve urban spaces through the development of Wilds, Greenways, and community gardens. It was just the kind of work that aligned with The Trustees’ ongoing preservation efforts in urban areas outside Boston.

The two organizations merged in 2014, and Trustees now manages 56 community gardens across eight Boston neighborhoods.

Then, when the concept of Boston Public Market—a 100-percent locally-sourced food market (and the only one in the country)— became a reality in 2015, The Trustees jumped at the opportunity to become a founding partner and the lead programming partner, as a way to serve the city and foster community engagement.

THE WATERFRONT CHALLENGE Concurrent with that effort, The Trustees recognized the immense development throughout Boston’s waterfront area was happening without consideration of the need for open space and began to look for land preservation opportunities. The organization has long been involved in protecting vulnerable coastal areas and became concerned with the impact of sea level rise and storm impacts on Boston’s waterfront.

“The way we see it,” says Nick Black, Managing Director of The Trustees’ Boston Waterfront Initiative, “Boston’s waterfront is a critically important place to be focusing our energy as a conservation organization.

Its health impacts the largest population in New England and the time for action is now, before the opportunity to preserve open space is lost forever.”

The Trustees has been using four guiding principles to determine what part of the Boston waterfront it wants to help preserve.

“First, we want the site to include a worldclass design element, as a draw for residents and visitors alike,” says Black. “Next, we are focused on elements of inclusion and equality, making the site ‘a place for all.’ It’s also important to improve sustainability and resiliency, helping protect the low-lying, once tide-filled city. Finally, there is the financial feasibility of developing such a place as this.

RENDERING COURTESY OF MICHAEL VAN VALKENBURGH ASSOCIATES

If the space in Boston doesn’t already exist, we have to create it and be able to maintain it in perpetuity.”

To date, the organization has found several regions of interest around Boston’s harborfront, including sites in East Boston and the South Boston waterfront. And, it is not working alone. Several nonprofits are supporting its efforts, including the Barr Foundation, which along with many generous donors has supported The Trustees’ exploration with a series of planning grants. The City of Boston also supports The Trustees’ efforts; in 2016, Mayor Walsh released Climate Ready Boston, a report outlining the city’s ongoing initiative to address climate change.

“Right now, we’re focused on securing a site that will become a designed and activated space,” says Black, who notes the scope and splash of the project is intended to be along the lines of Chicago’s Millennium Park, New York’s Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Waterfront Toronto. “Once the site is secured, we’re going to engage with communities to determine the best use of the space, with an eye towards recreational, educational, and historical programs and activities.”

Even though none of its 117 reservations are within the city itself, The Trustees has been closely linked to Boston, and concerned

for the wellbeing of its people, throughout the organization’s 127-year history. As the current development boom overwhelms the waterfront, it seems only fitting that The Trustees—the state’s largest conservation and preservation organization—is at the forefront of the effort to protect critically needed future open space in the state’s largest and most populous city.

“Our work on this Initiative is a critical and

actionable solution that extends the mission for which we were founded,” says Erickson, “and given the impacts of sea level rise and more frequent flooding from destructive storms, it is one we can no longer afford to ignore.”

this place, we realize we are part of something immense yet fragile, and

Norris Reservation Two Mile Farm

when we care for our living shoreline, we deepen our connection to the coast and the memories we have made there.

Our coastal systems are of extraordinary ecological value, sustaining some of New England’s, and even the globe’s, rarest habitats and species. They are our most dynamic and vulnerable: these landscapes can change with winds, tides, currents, and storms, and many of them are changing hour by hour, day by day.

And often overlooked is the rich cultural legacy that includes remnants of Native American presence now buried within our beaches and dunes, as well as reminders of European settlement and expansion, and New England’s commercial and maritime past.

Care of the coast is a core goal of Momentum, Trustees’ new strategic plan.

Building on the organization’s history of sound ecological management balanced with public access, over the next five years, Trustees will focus considerable effort on advocating for coastal health, better engaging communities and the public about coastal issues, testing interventions and partnerships that will support our coastal systems, and growing the constituency passionate about these issues.

Recently, Trustees has begun implementing new strategies in response to its Coastal Vulnerability Assessment—commissioned with the Woods Hole Group (WHG) and accomplished over the previous year—which predicted the effects

of sea level rise on our properties over the course of the next 50 years and helped us focus on those resources that are most at risk. This year, Trustees launched a collaboration with WHG and the Town of Ipswich for a nature-based, green infrastructure solution for Argilla Road, the access route to one of our most at-risk properties, Crane Beach.

This approach will not only ensure public access for the beach’s 350,000+ annual visitors but will also begin to restore the natural salt marsh, helping it keep pace with sea level rise.

In the coming years, Trustees will lead, innovate, and advocate for coastal solutions, especially those that enhance and build resiliency. We will leverage the public’s love

of our coastal reservations to encourage active care—whether as part of a beach cleanup, participating in citizen research to conserve salt marshes and wildlife, or taking part in hands-on educational programs at a coastal visitor center. And we will partner with researchers, universities, communities, and other organizations, using our coastal places as living laboratories to monitor change and inform our work. Through it all, we will continue to actively connect Trustees Members, volunteers, visitors, and donors to our coastal mission: they provide the lifeblood for our work, and their participation and support is critical to ensuring our coast is protected, sustained, and resilient for our children and future generations.

Volunteers provide invaluable service for The Trustees and the community as a whole, through clean-up events at Crane Beach, and much more.

VOLUNTEERS: A CRITICAL RESOURCE FOR OUR COAST

BY JEFF HARDER Earth Day—unseasonably bone-chilling, windbreaker-soaking weather settled over the North Shore. But that was no deterrent for the 80 volunteers who arrived at Crane Beach to pace four windswept miles and haul away litter—50 bags worth—before the dawn of the high season. The day was a reminder that beach clean-ups are simple ways to turn ecological enthusiasm into action, says Marc Mahan, Volunteer Resources Coordinator for The Trustees’ Northeast Region. “You don’t need specialty training or a degree. You just need a passion for protecting the land.”

Crane Beach, one of The Trustees’ most iconic properties and most vulnerable coastal landscapes, has a rich history of volunteerism—archival photos show volunteers planting beach grass and installing fencing in the 1960s, measures that have encouraged

14 THE TRUSTEES

dunes to thrive in the decades since. Crane’s volunteers have done it all: pull invasive phragmites and buckthorn from the rare dune habitats, monitor and tally shorebird populations, maintain trails, and install and remove protective fencing. When a storm bears down, “we can muster our volunteers to quickly get fencing out of harm’s way,” says Peter Pinciaro, General Manager for the Crane Estate.

This past year, volunteer opportunities expanded with a new beach ambassador program: volunteers talk with visitors crossing Crane’s trio of boardwalks, chatting them up about the latest changes on its ever-fluctuating shores and collecting feedback about their experiences. It’s all part of a broader aim to give volunteers experiences that enrich their lives and further their relationship with Crane Beach, The Trustees, and the needs of our fragile coast. If you’re a

longtime volunteer interested in habitat restoration, for example, Trustees can pair you up with an ecologist. If you’re interested in salt marsh ecology and have some technical expertise, you can help on a citizen scientist program. One high schooler interested in studying sustainability helped organize dune hikes and other active outings.

It’s also about building capacity: in the first five months last year, Crane Beach saw nearly 50% more service hours than volunteers registered the previous year.

“It was great to know so many people care about the environment,” says Andrea Lacroix, a volunteer who spearheaded the Earth Day clean-up. Grabbing a bag and wandering Crane Beach to remove junk is a simple, one-time way to make it a better place.

It could also be the first step in a profound, lasting relationship with one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.”

The Coast in the Classroom On Martha’s Vineyard, a long-standing educational program of The Trustees brings the classroom and the coast together for island students. The Claire Saltonstall Education Program (CSEP) was created in 1991 through an endowment from William and Jane Saltonstall, with start-up capital from several Vineyard philanthropists, in order to provide place-based education for island school children. The CSEP creates the opportunity for hands-on, experiential learning—encouraging students to explore, problem-solve, and lead—by engaging with Trustees properties while conducting field studies that align with school curriculum frameworks.

The CSEP has just completed its 27th year and has recently expanded to respond to the growing call for climate change studies, programs that align with new state-wide science curriculum frameworks, and increased high school internship opportunities. Programming options have been increased through coordinated programming with The Trustees’ newest island reservation, The FARM Institute, as well as through partnerships with organizations like the Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club, YMCA After-School Program, Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts, and more. Island teachers utilize our Teacher Resource Center and collaborate with CSEP Educators to provide in-class lessons based on our detailed program kits, as well as on field sessions for more in-depth experiential learning.

All told, through the program’s expanded focus on educating and mentoring a diverse group of island youth from first grade through high school, the CSEP provided 135 school programs for 2,490 student and teacher participants in the last year alone. In the coming few years, the program will align closely with The Trustees’ coastal strategy, which will continue to impact the Vineyard community in a significant and meaningful way—by creating early and profound connections to conservation for island students, and by educating future generations of land stewards, creative thinkers, nature enthusiasts, and community enhancers.

THE FARM

16 THE TRUSTEES

Inside the farm stand at Chestnut Hill Farm in Southborough, a woman and her grown daughter exclaim happily over the shop’s rustic wooden bins and shelves— loaded with root vegetables and greens, tomato sauce, and jars of farm-raised honey. Just outside, a couple smiles indulgently at their toddler, as the little girl wobbles up a winding path; they gladly take a staff member’s offer of a map to the property’s hiking trails. In the field behind them lies a homemade trebuchet—a kind of wooden catapult—that the very next day would delight visitors by launching old pumpkins onto a compost pile, creating a carnival atmosphere for a 5K run through pastures and wooded trails.

The hubbub of activity at Chestnut Hill Farm is a sea change from even two years ago, when members of the public were welcome to walk the property, but not so actively involved with the bounty of its land or such engaging programs and events. The transformation has made the historic farm property exactly the kind of place its visionary donors, Whitney Beals and Pamela Esty, imagined it could be when they first undertook the long process of working to preserve their family’s lands as public spaces.

Whitney’s parents, Philip and Elaine Beals, bought Chestnut Hill Farm in 1966 to save it from development. In the early 90s, the family began formally protecting portions of the property by donating pieces of land as well as the development rights to local conservation groups. In April 2010, the Beals family formally transferred the eastern two-thirds of Chestnut Hill Farm to The Trustees.

Earlier this year, thanks to the generosity of a handful of donors and the Beals themselves, Trustees was able to purchase 39 additional acres—

the remaining one-third of the Beals’ original property—at a greatly reduced cost.

The new parcel is across the street from the previously donated farm land and contains nearly six acres of USDA-defined prime agricultural soil, along with hay fields and woodland habitat.

Fundraising for the purchase of the land also raised enough for Trustees to build an outdoor structure to better serve farm visitors and participants in its educational programs. The structure will include restrooms and an interpretative area introducing visitors to the history of the farm and its place in the community.

“My father would be really pleased if he could see the farm now,” said Whitney. “My mom was 93 when she passed away last August, so she saw all the activity here. Even though she was in a wheelchair, she’d come over every day. She was so happy to see a wonderful young family living here and so many people enjoying the property.” Pamela adds, “This town is divided by a highway; there’s no real center here. When we made the property open to the public before The Trustees took it over, we expected people to come and walk the property, but they really didn’t. Now, the farm has become that town center. It has become the place!”

Trustees is one of the largest private holders of farmland in the Commonwealth. We care about protecting farms and growing local food sustainably. We connect farmers and gardeners to land, and people to where their food comes from.

Our seven working farms encompass more than 1,500 acres in total, with 52 acres dedicated to vegetable production, and 600 acres utilized for pasture, hay, and livestock habitat. Our growing livestock program includes 600 laying hens, 600 meat poultry, 55 milking cows, heifers, and calves, 75 sheep, 12 goats, 65 pigs, and 220 beef cattle, along with 2 horses and 6 rabbits.

We share the bounty of our farms through our five farm stores, our Mobile Market truck, and our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs. 1,457 shareholders participated in our produce CSAs in FY18— an increase of 14.6% over the previous fiscal year—and our meat CSA program, now in its second year, provides monthly distribution of varied cuts to 110 participants— an increase of 112% over its inaugural year. The Mobile Market served 1,465 customers through weekly stops at five community and health centers in Dorchester and Roxbury in its first season this year.

TunnelTeller Reflects Castle Hill's Past

Alicja Kwade is a mixed-media artist who loves to play with one's sense of perception.

Her sculpture at Castle Hill in Ipswich, entitled TunnelTeller—the third of The Trustees’ multi-year Art & the Landscape series of contemporary art installations— alters the way you see many elements of the Crane Estate’s stunningly beautiful landscape.

In her research for the installation, the artist was inspired by the hedge maze that the Crane family maintained on this site for about 30 years starting in 1920. Viewed from

above, it follows the original maze’s foundation, but Kwade chose materials that are more reminiscent of the family’s industrial heritage. Usually, these common building materials would have been disguised or hidden from view underground, but Kwade chose to use them in her work, highlighting their simplicity and elevating them to works of art.

In experiencing TunnelTeller, you’ll notice the ways in which the artist directs and then distorts your view of the landscape, using tubes and reflective surfaces. Sometimes you

will be fully immersed in the sculpture and won’t be able to see the view at all; sometimes your view of the landscape will be amplified or distorted. There’s a different view from every angle, and a different perception in every view.

TunnelTeller is fun, inspirational, dramatic, and totally unique—perfect for young families, art neophytes, and more experienced connoisseurs alike. On view through April 2019. Find out more about this installation, and the entire Art & the Landscape series, at thetrustees.org/art.

Cultural Landscape Revitalization at The Old Manse Built in 1770 for patriot minister William Emerson, The Old Manse, a National Historic Landmark, became the center of Concord’s political, literary, and social revolutions over the course of the next century. A handsome Georgian clapboard building, The Old Manse sits near the banks of the Concord River among rolling fields edged by centuries-old stone walls and graced by an orchard.

Care, preservation, and presentation of the Manse requires constant renewal. The Trustees’ vision for the one-time home of both Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne includes scholarly study and documentation, collections preservation, interior improvements, inspired new engagement and visitor programs, and the rehabilitation of the landscape to maintain the fabric of its authors’ muse. Our goal is to foster a creative platform for exploring The Old Manse and its literary heritage as inspiration for new thinking, writing, and reflection.

This year, Trustees has begun the revitalization of the historic landscape, in order to evoke the vernacular landscape of the late 18th and early 19th centuries when the Manse was a center of community life. At the same time, the work will enhance the site’s accessibility and the contemplative experience of the landscape for modern visitors.

Among other outcomes, the Old Manse Cultural Landscape Project will: • ESTABLISH a detailed landscape plan to guide the renewal of the site’s trees and other native plants • IDENTIFY invasive plants for removal, in order to protect the ecological integrity of the landscape • IMPLEMENT a comprehensive plant and tree care plan based on recent soil testing and studies • DEVELOP thoughtfully integrated interpretive signage • R ESTORE the upper drive to historic dimensions • ENHANCE parking and visitor entrance areas to meet accessibility standards Work on this project is scheduled to conclude in the spring of 2019. Trustees staff—including Ecology, Stewardship, and Cultural Resources team members—are working with Concord’s Natural Resources Commission, Historic Districts Commission, and the Massachusetts Historic Commission; all with the goal to ensure that the work being done will enhance the landscape and maintain the cultural significance of this very special place, and will truly be the next steps in a revolution of site experiences that bring The Old Manse and its people to life.

Nature provides wonders for all the senses.

At the Ward Reservation in North Andover.

Kids, Get Out(doors)!

Why being engaged with nature is so vital

BY MICHELLE PERRAS-CHARRON

ŠL. JAMES

20 THE TRUSTEES

There is no shortage of sights, sounds, and smells to get out and enjoy nature together as a family—amble along a shady trail, hike to a gushing waterfall, or simply listen to the bullfrogs. But do get out in nature with the kids. Whether physical, emotional, social, or academic, the benefits of spending time outdoors are abundant and worthwhile.

“We must emphasize how important it is for our health to get out and be active,” says Dr. David Elkind, professor emeritus of child development at Tufts University and author of The Power of Play. “Children [today] are not getting the exercise they need to fully realize their physical abilities, and their mental abilities as well,” he adds, explaining that motor development and mental development go hand-in-hand.

BIOLOGY DEMANDS ACTIVITY Whether by running, jumping, rolling down hills, climbing trees, hanging upside down, or simply spinning in circles, being outdoors naturally provides the space needed for the activities that stimulate vestibular system development, an important component of stability and coordination.

Children also benefit from time outdoors via sensory integration—likely engaging at least four of the five senses at any given time. It is believed by today’s occupational therapists that this type of sensory integration helps organize the brain, so that we can respond appropriately to our surroundings, and in turn helps children be better prepared to learn in school.

Lack of movement associated with less outdoor time—and therefore less play and sensory activation time—is believed to be in part responsible for many of the attention problems children have in school today.

Children are simply fidgety and unable to pay attention because their bodies crave movement. Increasing the time they spend in nature helps children better manage emotions, pay attention, and reduce stress, leading to improvements in concentration and the ability to learn. “We’re biological beings, our biology demands activity,” stresses Elkind.

NATURE AS PLAYGROUND Counter-intuitively for many parents, more time in nature, not less, is what children need to do well in school. Beyond programmed activities, children also need unstructured time to explore and connect to the world around them. Just as some schools are eliminating or drastically reducing recess as a way to allow more time for academics and improvement of standardized test scores, others are doing just the opposite. Recogniz-

©TRUSTEES

Unstructured play and exploration time is an important component of all Trustees camp programs, like this one at The FARM Institute on Martha’s Vineyard.

ing how beneficial unstructured playtime is to cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development, there are school systems that are providing multiple recess periods per day for their students. Nature preschools are popping up all over, the use of outdoor classrooms is on the rise, and traditionally indoor-based curricula are developing experiential and environmental elements to connect students with the natural world.

For similar reasons, Trustees has greatly increased the number of family programs being offered at its properties in recent years.

Five years ago family programming accounted for approximately 15% of programs offered.

Today, that number has surged to upwards of 50%. These activities reflect The Trustees’ commitment not only to family programming, but to engaging with the public on a deeper level, says Kristen Swanberg, Director of Public Programming and Education at The Trustees. “At our farms, for example,

we can help kids understand local agriculture and where food comes from, and learning about healthy eating, all while spending time outdoors.”

New outdoor experiences, or learning a new skill together, are great ways for families to bond and stay connected, as children naturally enjoy being outdoors and spending time with people they love. Adds Judy Braus, Executive Director of the North American Association for Environmental Education, “By creating opportunities for young people to explore their local environment, we are also helping them develop a stewardship ethic—caring about nature, taking care of the environment, and understanding that we all depend on nature to survive.”

And as Swanberg reminds us, “You just need a sense of curiosity and adventure to get outside and into nature with the kiddos.”

Engaging Youth Trustees is committed to providing numerous opportunities for children to connect with the natural world around them, and with the world of conservation and preservation. We do this through a variety of programs throughout the year, from summer camps and school-based programs, to family-based programming options, to internships, service learning, and job opportunities for teens.

Our goal is to continue to grow these offerings, and to look for new and engaging ways to reach out to the next generation, in order to deepen their connections to the outdoors, and to our places and mission.

In Fiscal Year 2018, in addition to family programming offerings, Trustees’ programs for the next generation reached the following numbers of young people:

Place-based, experiential learning at five Trustees properties—Appleton Farms, the Crane Estate, Weir River Farm, World’s End, and The FARM Institute—cultivates a sense of wonder, sparks new ideas, and develops an appreciation for our natural world.

With reservations in more than 70 communities across Massachusetts, Trustees provides learning destinations near most of the state’s schools. Our most popular places for students to visit through field trips are our working farms, the unique landscapes of Bartholomew’s Cobble in Sheffield, and our seven Martha’s Vineyard properties through the Claire Saltonstall Education Program, now in its 27th year.

The Trustees Youth Conservation Corps programs offer high-quality jobs and educational opportunities in Boston and the South Coast, providing experiences in environmentally-based, conservation, and agricultural activities. The goal? To inspire youth to care for their local open spaces and empower them to make change.

Up for the Challenge

Hike 125 inspires more individual and family treks

Hike 125’s top hikers for 2017 gathered at Appleton Farms for a celebration of their efforts.

The Trustees’ Hike 125 Challenge wrapped up its second year at the end of 2017. Originally created to help celebrate the organization’s 125th Anniversary in 2016, the challenge provided a way to encourage people to visit our reservations on their own, but with the combined goals of personal achievement and being part of a community of like-minded individuals. The challenge proved immensely popular—many people told us how much they enjoyed the ease of participating, being able to track their progress on the leaderboards, and the motivation it provided to explore properties they had never visited before. Continuing the program into 2017 was an easy decision and, based on feedback from the previous year’s hikers, we added several new categories to the challenge: to visit as many Trustees reservations as possible, and for those who prefer to go for walks often but maybe not concerned with distance, to see how many hikes they could take. Participation increased in the second year, with one hiker (actually a trail runner) logging just over 2,000 miles, and another going 1,710 miles, most of them with her enthusiastic dog along for the hikes.

Both of these hikers, along with two others, actually visited every one of our reservations in the process!

BY THE NUMBERS Participating Hikers 2017 1,455 (+27%) 2016 1,145 Hikes Taken 2017 7,085 (+37%) 2016 5,171 Miles Hiked 2017 19,469 (+22%) 2016 15,920 We met about a dozen of the year’s top hikers at an event held at Appleton Farms in early spring, as we awarded prizes from our sponsor REI Co-op and kicked off the third year of the challenge. The hikers all expressed how much they enjoyed the challenge and shared many stories of their adventures. One story stood out, which is particularly relevant as Trustees focuses on finding more ways to encourage the next generation to get outside as part of the new strategic plan, Momentum.

the Family category—a mother and daughter team—hiked 456 miles in total. Jamie Picard, from Attleboro, told us how she wanted to get more exercise and decided Hike 125 would be fun to try, with her 3-year-old daughter Morgan on her back in a carrier. But after only a few hikes, Morgan wanted to do some hiking, too. Jamie let her walk as far as she wanted and then carried her the rest of the way; Morgan was quickly going a mile or more on her own. As the summer turned to fall, and Morgan turned four, her energy and enthusiasm kept growing—by the end of the challenge, she was hiking up to seven miles at a time! Jamie told us how when they would be out in their car, if Morgan saw a Trustees sign, she would eagerly ask if they were going for another hike. These are the kinds of stories we love to hear, and encourage us to find more ways to involve the next generation as we run the Hike 125 Challenge in future years.

Bringing FarmFresh Food to Communities that Need It

BY GENEVIEVE RAJEWSKI t’s a Tuesday in early August, and the Trustees Mobile Farmers Market is already satisfying a large appetite for its locally grown produce, meat, eggs, and milk. The truck has sold out of tomatoes by the time it reaches the ABCD Head Start in Dorchester, its second stop of the day, even after Cathy Wirth, Agriculture Program Director at The Trustees, has already run back to Powisset Farm in Dover for extra produce to replenish the baskets. Sadrack Marseille, the market’s Outreach Assistant and a graduate of The Trustees' Youth Conservation Corps job-training program, hastily updates the market’s colorful chalkboard.

Though a new sight on city streets, the Mobile Farmers Market has been in the works for years, according to Wirth. The Trustees’ seven working farms produce vegetables, cheese, milk, meat, and eggs—most of which is sold right on the properties. “It’s a great way to personally connect people to our mission of land conservation,” explains Wirth. “But that also means that we are mainly providing food to residents of the communities that surround those properties. We wanted our food to have a broader reach.”

24 THE TRUSTEES

Kelvin Adjei-Akosah, Mobile Market Outreach Assistant and Youth Conservation Corps graduate, serves several regular shoppers at the ABCD Head Start stop in Dorchester.

Designed like a food truck, the Mobile Farmers Market stops weekly at locations in Dorchester and Roxbury—neighborhoods where data showed residents are not spending their food dollars at supermarkets, suggesting that they lack convenient or affordable full-service shopping options and are opting for alternative locations such as convenience stores and bodegas. “These are also neighborhoods where public health data reveal high rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure—all diseases tied to poor nutrition,” she adds.

Within these neighborhoods, they built relationships for shopping locations with community partners that are already integrated into people’s daily routines and that include healthy eating and wellness as part of their mission.

The products available on the truck— which come from Powisset Farm in Dover, less than 15 miles from the Dorchester ABCD Head Start—change according to what’s in season. The truck also sells fresh milk from Appleton Farms in Hamilton and Ipswich, and meat and eggs from Moose Hill Farm in Sharon and Weir River Farm in Hingham. “We strive to offer a

diverse product mix while also maintaining affordability for customers in lower-income neighborhoods,” says Wirth. As a nonprofit that produces its own food, The Trustees can set its prices at levels that are not out of reach for customers on tight food budgets.

In addition, “we worked very hard to partner with every program out there that makes fresh food more affordable,” continues Wirth, including the Supplemental Nutrition Accessibility Program (SNAP), WIC, and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program coupons, as well as Massachusetts’ new Healthy Incentives Program (HIP). Indeed, the majority of Mobile Farmers Market purchases are through one of these programs, suggesting the truck is serving the population The Trustees is hoping to reach.

“There’s a perception that the local food movement can be elitist because only certain people can participate in it,” notes Wirth.

“We need to change that. Locally grown fare can get everybody excited about fresh foods and the farms they come from.” Given the excitement greeting the seasonal bounty on display here today, it’s clear that enjoying healthy, farm-fresh foods knows no boundaries.

BUILD THE TRUSTEES OF THE FUTURE

Trustees continues to develop its audience through a variety of means—critical to our ability to secure the organization’s plan for perpetuity. We seek a balanced strategy of audience development complemented by fiscal sustainability, as a cornerstone in our strategic goals. In order to fuel our future dreams, we must engage and attract more visitors, members, program participants, volunteers, and donors—and grow our tribe.

This year our volunteering numbers remained steady, following the previous year’s successful numbers from the 125th Anniversary.

Membership and program participation grew at a healthy pace— encouraging after the big successes of the previous year.

Reaching NEW HEIGHTS

BY JEFF HARDER

The first time Bill Farkas ascended Monument Mountain, he looked across the Housatonic River Valley and noticed that the peaks of the Catskill Mountains—even when witnessed from 1,642 feet up—still loomed like giants. “The higher you go, the bigger they look,” says Farkas, a Pennsylvania native and, at the time of that inaugural hike to the summit in 1974, a resident of Hudson, New York. But something else struck him when he reached the top: a bronze plaque inscribed with the words The Trustees of Reservations. “I thought, what is that? What a quaint, New England-type of name,” he recalls.

26 THE TRUSTEES

Born, raised, and educated around Pittsburgh, Farkas spent 31 years working in the accounting department at U.S. Steel—with a three-year interruption for Army service—where he spent time working in Ohio, Michigan, and, in the mid-1970s, upstate New York. Nearly every week during his three years in Hudson, he traveled across the state line to meet friends in Great Barrington and the village of Housatonic, hike up Monument Mountain, and explore the wonders of western Massachusetts. After befriending Steve McMahon, then The Trustees’ regional director for the Berkshires, Farkas became acquainted with properties like Naumkeag and The Mission House.

Upon retiring in 1991—and after seeing development erase old farms around his home in Pennsylvania—Farkas decided to donate to a trio of organizations, including The Trustees, to finance open space preservation in the Berkshires. Now a member of the Semper Virens Society, Farkas calls The Trustees “the single most phenomenal organization of its type that I’ve ever been involved with.” He adds, “The Trustees were the only organization I knew of that mapped the whole state from the Cape to the Berkshires and saw how much property was available (for purchase as open space) and how much they could save. I thought this showed so much breadth of vision.”

It’s fitting that Monument Mountain directly benefited from Farkas’s generosity. In 2014, The Trustees acquired Flag Rock, an adjacent 45-acre property named for the overlook with glorious southwest views out to the Taconic Mountain Range, in part thanks to Farkas’s contributions. (“The Trustees sent me some terrific pictures of the area—they’re really quite wonderful and help keep the memories alive,” he says.) More recently, he helped support operations at Naumkeag and the property’s newly replanted gardens. Farkas even journeyed up for last summer’s Naumkeag Garden Party, where he saw the flowers in full bloom and traded jokes with famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma. (“I told him an anecdote that he loved—and that no one else understood!”)

It’s been years since Farkas last saw Monument Mountain with his own eyes. He has no illusions of hiking up alone again. But all the moments he’s spent on the property still loom large in his mind—maybe someday, he says, he’ll travel up from Pennsylvania for an assisted ascent on the easier route that winds up the back of the mountain. “I’d love to see it again,” he says.

“Nevertheless, I have wonderful memories.”

Spotlight PROTECT THE PLACES PEOPLE LOVE

New Community Garden Blossoms in Dorchester In the spring of 2018, Trustees opened its 56th community garden in Boston— Windermere Community Garden, a 4,100 square foot lot in the Jones Hill/Upham’s Corner neighborhood of Dorchester. The lot came to The Trustees after the City of Boston transferred ownership in order to develop a garden resource for the area’s residents. "Windermere Community Garden is the result of a partnership between The Trustees, the City of Boston, and the Dorchester community, who were involved in the design process," says Vidya Tikku, The Trustees’ General Manager for Boston Community Gardens. The tiered garden includes fieldstone facing and features two patios for gatherings and programming. Thirteen plots serve twelve local families, with one granted to St. Mary’s Center, a charitable Dorchester organization.

Funders include the City of Boston, the Boston Committee of the Garden Club of America, Back Bay Garden Club, the Boston Department of Neighborhood Development, and the Jones Hill Association.

In order to transform the hilly, vacant Windermere Road lot into a community garden and neighborhood gathering place, Trustees added retaining walls to create terraced garden plots, steps and walkways, and a patio area complete with table and chairs.

ANNUAL REPORT 2018

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.
