MassAcorn
is an interactive website designed for landowners and others interested in forests in the Westfield and Deerfield River Watersheds in Western Massachusetts. This website is focused on providing information about private forestland, the landscape and the community of western Massachusetts. The aim is to engage landowners to increase their knowledge of their land and the natural surroundings, and to foster communication among landowners. MassAcorn aims at: 1) providing private forest owners with information about their land, their surrounding landscape, and community; 2) encouraging private forest owners, who do not currently participate in traditional forestry programs, to engage with their property; 3) connecting landowners to the larger conservation network; 4) fostering information sharing among private forest owners; and 5) aiding private forest owners in making informed decisions about their woods.
