Set in an area rich with history, culture, and natural beauty, this forest features wide open meadows looking over the forested hills of Vermont to the north and into the heart of the Berkshires to the south. It’s home to a variety of native tree species, including eastern hemlocks, yellow birch, red spruce, red maples, and sugar maples. A historic barn built in the 1860s and a sugar shack once used for small-batch syrup production sit on the edge of the meadows. When you purchase a memorial tree in the Berkshires, you contribute to the protection of forestland and wildlife habitat that your loved ones can enjoy – now and for years to come.
Better Place Forests Berkshires is a critical piece of a contiguous, undeveloped stretch of land that provides rich habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. The forest is also home to large healthy stands of eastern hemlock, a “near threatened” species on the federal watch list.
Part of our work involves removing invasive species, thinning and pruning so older trees can thrive, and restoring the land to its natural state.
