Dedicated to keeping Sherborn green

Living lightly on the Earth in this beautiful place.

Green Sherborn is dedicated to sharing news, tips and information about all the ways we can protect natural resources in Sherborn while contributing to the Earth in positive ways.

Sherborn relies entirely on groundwater and private wells for its drinking supply. This is one of the reasons that earlier generations of residents worked hard to preserve natural land and strengthen the regulations that protect water. As a result, the town is blessed with hundreds of acres of conserved land where plants and wildlife abound. But development and other forces are putting more pressure on our limited natural resources every day. And as the planet’s climate changes, water is becoming a more precious commodity everywhere. The only way to preserve this special place is to stay informed about the science and understand how to guard our precious resources and the planet.

This blog will share information about every aspect of Green Sherborn, including the joy of seeing birds, bugs, flowers and plants. How lucky we are to live in this beautiful town!
