The purposes for which the organization was formed are as follows:
-----To promote appreciation of natural and historic resources in the Town of Egremont and environs and to stimulate education
and research.
-----To preserve the natural environment and the historic and rural character by acquiring by gift or purchase natural,
scenic, open and rural lands or interests in land (including conservation restrictions) in Egremont and environs; and to act
as an informational clearing house in cooperation with appropriate groups, individuals or both.
-----To identify and preserve scenic, historic, agricultural and forest resources, ecologically sensitive land, and wildlife
habitats.
-----To manage and monitor preserves and enforce conservation restrictions to protect natural and historic attributes.
-----To raise funds to further the objectives of the organization.
-----To participate cooperatively with other conservation organizations and with the Town of Egremont in conservation
projects, through technical and financial support and acceptance of assignment of the Town's rights under any tax incentive
program.
-----To participate where projects of limited development would promote significant and substantial conservation objectives
which would otherwise be unmet.
