Hampshire College permanently protecting 46 acres of land as part of meeting Living Building challenge

The protected land, owned by Hampshire College, is on the northeast flank of the Mount Holyoke Range near Bay Road and Chumura Road. It will serve as a resource for outdoor education and research as well as offering public access via a designated hiking trail, according to a press release. Hampshire is applying for Living Building Certification for its R. W. Kern Center, currently under construction, and as part of that, it is required to preserve an equal amount of land taken by the project.
