Save Sweetwilliam Farm
One of Upton’s most cherished landscapes, Sweetwilliam Farm on North Street, is at risk of being developed. SVT and the Upton Open Space Committee are working with Sweetwilliam’s owners and Town officials to try to protect this ecologic and historic resource.

Announcement of AmeriCorps Service Opportunities at SVT
Sudbury Valley Trustees has openings for two service positions with the new AmeriCorps program - Massachusetts Land Initiative for Tomorrow (MassLIFT). These positions are full time and receive a stipend. Participation requires a commitment of 1,700 hours of service from October 6, 2010 until August 31, 2011. One position is for Community Outreach, and the other is for a Land Steward. Both require high levels of responsibility, energy, and initiative. The selected AmeriCorps members will work closely with SVT staff. For complete information download the program and positions description, or contact Nancy Hallen.
AmeriCorps is a federally funded program that supports a broad range of local and national nonprofit groups by engaging thousands of Americans in intensive service to meet critical community needs.
SVT Supporting Local Agriculture
Boston's western suburbs abound with farms and orchards that provide residents an opportunity to lighten their ecological footprints through eating locally. This summer SVT is celebrating the agricultural landscape of our watershed - some landscapes we've helped to protect and some we hope to protect. We hope the resources on our website will help and inspire you.
