    The 2017 Pine Barrens Regional Conservation Forum, sponsored by the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens Alliance, Inc., will take place Friday, January 20,  from 8 – 4 at Cape Cod Community College in West Barnstable. Join your fellow eco-region conservation leaders for a day of planning and action!

    Find new opportunities in the change we are about to experience. Expand collaborative efforts, share the tools we have created, and create a shared vision for the future. Strengthen our web of vital, resilient local communities in Southeastern Massachusetts. Over 200 federal, state and municipal agencies, tribes, land trusts and conservation organizations already working within the Southeastern Atlantic Pine Barrens eco-region conserving, restoring and protecting our shared natural resources, marine ecosystems and wildlife.

    Focusing our efforts, large and small, on the 524,000 acres, 48 Natural Communities, and 182 state and federally listed rare plants and animals in our backyards will serve to remind us of the urgency of both acting and organizing locally. Registration is free (an optional lunch is available for $10), but must be done in advance at the NAFSE website.
