A class at Windrush Farm in North Andover, Massachusetts.

In my previous post, I showed a couple of bog photos from a conservation project I'm doing at Windrush Farm in Massachusetts.  The bog is an important habitat type on this 200 acre property, but more importantly, Windrush Farm is the home of Windrush Farm Therapeutic Equitation, a non-profit, working horse farm that has been successfully helping children and adults with physical, emotional, and learning disabilities since 1964.  Their mission is to use the horse to expand the personal, emotional, and physical boundaries of all who ride and work with us.  Unfortunately, Windrush only leases the property, which is now up for sale, but with help from the Trust for Public Land, there is a good chance this important therapy center will remain open.


Trotting.

This $3.5 million conservation project will not only allow Windrush to continue their work, but will also allow public access to much of the forest on the property which is contiguous with another 1400+ acres of publically accessible open space.  For more information about the conservation effort and fundraising campaign, click here.

More to come...
