| Beginning a New Year Together! |
| There's no doubt that 2020 will be remembered as a year filled with uncertainties, but at Greenbelt we know a few things for sure: that you, our supporters, are loyal, generous and committed to land conservation; and the 18,228 acres we've conserved together since 1961 are protected forever! So what's ahead in 2021? More exciting conservation projects, new opportunities to connect with each other and nature, and a growing number of places to explore and enjoy. Thank you for your continued support and for being part of our Greenbelt community. We're excited to begin the new year with you! |

| In Remembrance |
The Greenbelt community is saddened by the recent passing of Donald Bade, a longt-time, fervent supporter of our work who passed in November. We're also remembering two former members of our Board of Directors, whose obituaries are linked below: Mike Wood of Hamilton/Wenham passed in November, and Jack Gardner of South Hamilton (who conserved a sustantial amount of his property with Greenbelt) passed in early January. We are grateful for the ways that these gentlemen served Greenbelt over the years.
