Benefits Why join the ConservationCommon? When you join the ConservationCommon, you join a community of professionals and volunteers seeking to change the face of conservation in Massachusetts. As a member, you can share success stories, get advice from colleagues, and learn from others’ experiences through discussions, white papers, and more. You can even find out about upcoming events and conferences. The Trustees of Reservations’ Putnam Conservation Institute created the ConservationCommon in response to the enormous challenges facing the conservation community in Massachusetts. Together, we can make a difference in preserving and protecting the special places and quality of life in Massachusetts. You can participate in the ConservationCommon without joining. But in order to participate fully in all the Common has to offer, we’d like you to join: So we can be responsive to your needs. The Trustees of Reservations' Putnam Conservation Institute can only be responsive to your needs if we know what you’re interested in, what kind of work you do, and where. To encourage others to share. We all share more and better information with people we know (or at least know of)—that's simply human nature. Anonymous contributions and comments are fine for some online communities but we’d like the ConservationCommon to model real life interactions of real people. To keep you informed. The Trustees of Reservations' Putnam Conservation Institute will occasionally email you with announcements we think you would be interested in. The more we know about you from your profile the more we can narrow what we send to you.You may opt out of all email messages from us if you prefer.    NOTE: We will not sell your email address. Review our Privacy Policy.
