Cases of Conservation: The Riley Family

This video describes how the Riley family of Barre, MA worked with Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust to pass their family land on to the next generation, while protecting its natural resources, scenic beauty, and family history. The story demonstrates how families can work with local land trusts to plan the future of their family’s land. The video is one of a gallery of case studies developed by students at UMass Amherst to tell the stories of families in Massachusetts who have conserved their land.
