OUTDOORS

We create and enhance local outdoor recreation assets to provide high value spaces and experiences for locals and tourists alike. Focuses include environmental wellness, outdoor experiences, conversation, and sustainability.

Berkshire Outdoor Recreation Summit

Mill Town Foundation and Berkshire Regional Planning Commission plan and execute the annual Berkshire Outdoor Recreation Summit – bringing stakeholders and outdoor recreation enthusiasts together for presentations and discussions on Berkshire-based outdoors topics. A virtual Outdoor Recreation Stakeholders’ Information Exchange is held each spring in advance of the Summit.

Greenagers

Mill Town Foundation has partnered with Greenagers to provide employment and volunteer opportunities for teens and young adults in the fields of conservation, sustainable farming, and environmental leadership, in support of the Trails Crew which maintains existing trails and builds new trails for the Trustees of Reservations, Appalachian Trail Conservancy, and other conservation organizations in the region.

BRPC Outdoor Recreation Plan

In partnership with Berkshire Regional Planning Commission, Mill Town Foundation led the production of a comprehensive planning document for Berkshire County including research, data collection, community engagement, data analysis, mapping, and project reporting. This initiative has helped inform the community of meaningful insights into economic development growth areas connected to outdoor recreation by identifying key outdoor recreation assets to the Berkshires.
