The Mattapoisett Land Trust received confirmation of a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Grant for Pine Island Watershed. The state fund awarded to MLT, $960,000, will go towards the acquisition of over 100 acres of prime woodlands, wetlands, and wildlife habitat from private owners while protecting the significant acreage from future development. MLT will need to complete the purchase price of approximately $1.2 million through fundraising and donations. Photos courtesy of the Mattapoisett Land Trust
