It was wonderful to join U.S. Department of the Interior Acting Deputy Secretary Laura Daniel Davis last week to celebrate $5 million in federal funding being put to work in Southeastern Massachusetts. FFIO Director Quentin Palfrey and members of our team had the opportunity to see firsthand how these dollars are supporting habitat conservation and restoration in the region. Thank you to our partners at Massachusetts Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs for organizing and for carrying out this impactful work!
Thank you to U.S. Department of the Interior Acting Deputy Secretary Laura Daniel Davis for joining us for a tour of America the Beautiful Challenge funding at work in #Massachusetts! In 2022, #MassWildlife was awarded nearly $5M through the America the Beautiful Challenge. This major federal award supports critical landscape-scale conservation + habitat restoration in the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens. The largest remaining block of Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens north of New Jersey, the Southeastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens are a global #biodiversity hotspot. They are home to numerous animals and plants, including rare, at-risk species like the prairie warbler, frosted elfin butterfly, and the barrens buckmoth. Through strong partnership with community organizations + the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, this vital federal funding will support: 🌱 Wetland restoration of a former agricultural cranberry bog + fish passage improvements for river herring + native salter brook trout 🔥 Habitat management of 582 acres of upland habitat with prescribed fire + mechanical techniques 🐢 Restoration of the shoreline of 50 coastal plain ponds that support globally rare species 🤝 Capacity building for habitat restoration led by the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe 🔬 Technical assistance for key landowners + other partners Thank you to those who joined us: A&F Director of Massachusetts Federal Funds & Infrastructure Office (FFIO) Quentin Palfrey, Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Undersecretary Stephanie Cooper, Massachusetts Department of Fish & Game Commissioner Tom O'Shea, #MassWildlife Deputy Director Eve Schluter, Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration Director Beth Lambert, The Trustees of Reservations Ecologist Russ Hopping, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Grace Bottitta-Williamson, and staff. #AmericatheBeautifulChallenge #LandscapeScaleConservation #Restoration

From cow 🐄 to cone 🍦, our Massachusetts dairy farms work hard to produce a delicious, high-quality product for consumers to enjoy! With over 100 locations, the new Massachusetts Ice Cream Trail is the tastiest way to support our local dairy farmers and explore the state. Grateful for this collaborative effort with Massachusetts Dairy Promotion Board and Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism! https://lnkd.in/gGXkd6n2 #cowtocone #massdairy #massgrown Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs

President and Chief Executive Officer of The Trustees of Reservations, Former Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Making nature more accessible to all is a top priority at The Trustees, and we were proud to cut the ribbon on our new Discovery Trail at Copicut Woods in Fall River with Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan, Maureen Flanagan from State Senator Michael Rodrigues’ office, and State Representatives Paul Schmid and staff from Carol Fiola’s office along with Paul Jahnige, director of the Massachusetts Office of Outdoor Recreation This trail will help more people enjoy the restorative power of nature. The trail increases community access, accommodates wheelchairs and strollers (even a double!!) and hosts five nature stations for visitors to discover, learn, and explore. We hope to see everyone on the trails soon. Thanks to Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs for a Mass Trails grant and to support from an anonymous donor for bringing this project to life. Link:

Thank you so much to the Biden-Harris Administration for investing $100 million to support Massachusetts' efforts to decarbonize buildings across the Commonwealth. As part of USEPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grant program, Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs joined with other states across the region in the New England Heat Pump Accelerator effort, which will transform the heat pump market in the New England Region, rapidly increasing the availability of heat pumps and lowering costs. We are so grateful to President Biden, Vice President Harris, Administrator Regan, and Regional Administrator David W. Cash for this $450 million award to this advance this vital regional initiative.
Yesterday - USEPA announced that the New England Heat Pump Accelerator will receive a $450 million federal award, with roughly $100 million from the award going to Massachusetts directly! Heat pumps are a key tool for #decarbonization and energy efficiency; this Accelerator will transform the heat pump market in the region, rapidly increasing their availability and lowering costs. Congratulations to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs team and thank you to Administrator Regan and our partners in the Biden-Harris Administration for investing in Massachusetts. https://lnkd.in/gZycbYG4

We love these progress photos of a #DERPriorityProject in Mattapoisett! Construction began last fall to restore 57 acres of former cranberry bogs. Thank you to our dedicated partners Buzzards Bay Coalition and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service for their hard work on this project!
Soon this last culvert will be removed and replaced with a natural stream channel, completing the Mattapoisett Bogs Restoration Project. The rest of the restored bogs site is greening up beautifully!
