Rattlesnake Gutter Conservation Area

The Rattlesnake Gutter Trust, established in 1988, is a land trust in Leverett, Massachusetts dedicated to preserving the natural and scenic beauty of the area. They actively work to protect forests, fields, and waterways, while also assisting Leverett landowners in conserving their properties through conservation restrictions. The trust organizes educational activities and events to promote the understanding of the local ecology and history, and relies on financial support from members and contributions to continue their conservation efforts.

The Leverett Trails Committee, co-sponsored by the Rattlesnake Gutter Trust and the Conservation Commission, is responsible for maintaining the extensive network of walking trails throughout Leverett. They meet regularly to ensure the trails are well-maintained and provide resources for reporting any trail problems. The trust also celebrates the community's commitment to conservation through initiatives like the bottle shed, where donations of returnable cans and bottles contribute to their mission of protecting Leverett's unique natural areas.
