Since 2013, North County Land Trust and our conservation partners have been working to conserve nearly 4,200 acres in the region that lies between the Quabbin Reservoir in the west and Mount Wachusett in the east. The Quabbin Reservoir to Wachusett Mountain Forest Legacy Project (Q2W) will create a conserved landscape that permanently protects drinking water, unique wildlife habitats and important working lands in this region. Federal Forest Legacy funding totaling over $7 million will leverage other funding sources and donations to conserve land valued at more than $10.5 million.
