Wildlands Trust has organized a RUN FOR CONSERVATION! The 5k walk/run is an opportunity for runners, walkers, families, local non-profits, businesses, and everyone in between to come together and support land conservation in Southeastern Massachusetts. The Trust has partnered with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and Bayside Runner to make the special event possible. The race will be held in DCR’s Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth, the state’s largest forest reserve. Local non-profit organizations and businesses will be at the race, providing participants with information about local educational programs, events, and activities that encourage a healthy lifestyle, outdoor recreation, and an appreciation for conservation. If you would like to register your non-profit or business to be a part of this outreach, please contact skugel@wildlandstrust.org. We are also seeking volunteers to adopt water tables and to assist walkers and runners at different points throughout the 5k. All volunteers will receive a free race t-shirt and all race proceeds support Trust efforts to save land in Southeastern Massachusetts. This race will also feature a special barefoot division, which will send most mothers into cardiac arrest, but if you like the feel of dirt between your toes, go for it. Cost is $20 for WLT members, $25 for non-members.
