Who's It For?

YOU!—our community of conservationists—and all who are interested in nature, the environment, and land conservation. We offer a range of programs for all ages that will help all who attend develop a deeper understanding of nature and conservation:

  • Conferences, meetings, and workshops that magnify the advancement of regional and national conservation issues
  • Research opportunities for scholars engaged in our Farm, Bird Conservation, Habitat and Watershed Protection programs.
  • Lectures on important topics in conservation, featuring Willistown Conservation Trust staff and guest speakers
  • Farm to table dinners hosted by local chefs eager to educate and inspire cooking with local, sustainably sourced ingredients
  • Cooking and food-focused workshops for school children, who will learn about sustainable food systems by picking produce from Rushton Farm and using it to prepare healthy meals in the teaching kitchen
  • Community workshops on topics related to conservation, such as creating wildflower meadows with native species or building bird conservation habitats in your own backyard
