Attention Great Barrington Land Conservancy members: The annual GBLC meeting will be held OUTDOORS on Tuesday, September 29th at 3 pm, rain or shine.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, masks MUST be worn while in attendance and social distancing guidelines will be strictly enforced. Members will meet on the trail behind Dewey Avenue or at Bridge Street or at the Green bridge in Great Barrington as updates will be provided IN PERSON. Parking will be available at both sites.
