The Sustainability Project Inc. incorporated on March 21, 2000 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization promoting a love of nature, environmental stewardship, caring communities and ways of living that deepen our understanding of the interconnected web of life.  Our guiding principle is that diversity, inclusion and compassion are fundamental to the long-term well-being of our planet and its inhabitants.

 

True to our name, The Sustainability Project has sustained itself during a trying economy. Like a desert flower, when it didn’t rain, we may not have bloomed but we didn’t wither away either. This analogy points to the greater wisdom of resource conservation and how important it is to live within our means. We had what we needed to continue our mission driven activities.

During the past year, Thanks to the help of more than 100 volunteers, we:

• hosted a full calendar of events and activities
• continued to work on our wheelchair accessible nature center in the Emerson Brook Forest; created a cob oven and welcomed almost 200 visitors
• joined in partnership with the Gilsum/Sullivan ACCESS after-school program to provide high quality programs
• began working with the National Model Forest Policy Program to update forest management practices along the Ashuelot River Watershed
• began a collaboration with Cheshire Mediation to create a Mediated Home Share program to support intentional living arrangements
• continued to hold “Houses of Healing” inmate support programs at the Cheshire County Correctional Facility

Thank you for your interest, encouragement and support of this effort and for joining us on our journey toward a sustainable future.
