Wildlands Trust was founded in 1973 and has been protecting wild spaces in Southeastern Mass ever since. With the goal of conserving and permanently protect native habitats, farmland, and lands of high ecological and scenic value, they currently protect and steward over 8,500 acres of natural and agricultural lands.
In 2002, the Northland Cranberry Company sold a 1600+ acre complex of cranberry bogs, white cedar and red maple wetlands, feeder/reserve ponds, and streams to the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. This now makes up what is know as the Burrage Pond WMA located in Hanson and Halifax.

We must go out and re-ally ourselves to Nature every day. We must make root, send out some little fibre at least, even every winter day. I am sensible that I am imbibing health when I open my mouth to the wind. Henry David Thoreau
