Two alums in one day is quite the treat! Today Conway got a visit from alum Caroline Gotwals as she was passing through town. We also bumped into classof2022 alum Elena Zachary of Wing and a Prayer Nursery and her glorious native plants at the Downtown Northampton GFN Farmers Markets this afternoon.

Thanks to Ecological Landscape Alliance for a fantastic conference! So many interesting people, sessions, and information on display. It was great to meet up with Conway alums from many years and many places, all doing incredible work. Thanks to Omni Providence Hotel for the excellent accommodations. We hope to see you all again (as well as some new faces) next year!

At Conway, community is at the heart of what we do — not just in the projects our students take on, but in how we show up for our neighbors and the communities around us.🌱

This year, we’ve been proud to:
🌿 Serve as a core member of Resilient Valley, a volunteer coalition of nonprofits working together to build more resilient communities across the Pioneer Valley.
🎬 Partner with Kestrel Land Trust and Smith College CEEDS to sponsor the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, bringing people together around stories of environmental action and hope.
🤝 Join the Greater Northampton Chamber of Commerce and strengthen our connections with local businesses, organizations, and community leaders.

These partnerships give us opportunities to share what we know, learn from others, support good work happening close to home, and help make the Pioneer Valley a stronger, more connected place.

We’re grateful to be part of this community — and proud to give back to the place we call home.
