We work diligently to steward our natural landscapes and protect the rare and fragile habitats found on our property, including sandplain grasslands and coastal heathlands.

Chronolog, a photo-based platform, helps to document our work on the property. This tool captures landscape changes over time, providing a visual timelapse of our land management, restoration projects, and research.

We have two views: one highlighting our recent restoration project and the other documenting the North Head of Long Pond.

You can also contribute photos to Chronolog when you visit the property. Your help is valuable to us!

LLNF is pleased to announce it has been awarded a grant from the MassWildlife Habitat Management Grant Program to create and improve grassland habitats by removing non-native invasive tree species and restoring natural ecosystem processes. The $75,000 awarded is one of the largest amounts given to any one organization in 2022.
