Campaign for the Potter Sanctuary

White Oak is raising money to purchase the remaining land belonging to the Ecotarium (Worcester Natural History Society) on the Holden Paxton border.  This will enlarge Porcupine Hill, providing an alternative, easier access with additional parking, and allow us to develop more trails.  Details,

White Oak Land Conservation Society was founded in 1978 to preserve land as open space in Holden and the region surrounding Holden. We acquire land by donation or purchase, or preserve land by holding the right to development, known as a Conservation Restriction.

White Oak is a member of the Land Trust Alliance and the Massachusetts Land Trust Coalition. Our mission is to protect open spaces in Holden and neighboring towns and to share the joy of knowing and valuing these open spaces with people of all ages.

If you are a woodland owner and would like to know more about your woodland and how to manage it, the Dept of Environmental Management's Forest Stewardship Program can help you.

The activities of White Oak are managed entirely by volunteers, and our income comes from membership contributions, donations, grants and investments. Membership is open to all.
