Berkshire Natural Resources Council

Berkshire Natural Resources Council (BNRC) is a land conservation organization working to protect and preserve the natural beauty and ecological integrity of the Berkshires for public benefit and enjoyment. 
BNRC’s focus:
• Land conservation of productive farms, watershed and ecologically unique lands, and open lands. BNRC has conserved over 23,000 acres and proudly partners with local and state entities on their land protection projects too.
• Land stewardship through monitoring conservation land, hiking trails, and habitat restoration. BNRC owns 11,000 acres and 60+ miles of trails, all free and open to the public.
• Community Conservation through free public hikes and special events, educational programs, and volunteer workdays.
Recently, BNRC launched the High Road. The High Road is a long-term, conservation and recreation initiative fueled by BNRC supporters and conservation partners. The High Road will connect trails and conservation to towns throughout the Berkshires.
