SaveNotchForest is an advocacy group for North Adams’ watershed forests.
These city-owned forests are the source of drinking water for thirteen thousand people, protecting and collecting the water in our two reservoirs,
Notch and Mt Williams.
Unfortunately, their maturing trees are increasingly attractive to the timber industry. After studying a narrowly averted 2024 logging plan,
we believe these “working forests” need increased protection from similar future plans in order to continue producing safe drinking water.
The forests are healthy, the water is clean, and the hiking trails are loved.
They deserve appreciation and protection.
