Keep Massachusetts Beautiful brings volunteers, local government, and the business community together to improve the appearance and vitality of Massachusetts communities. We believe that litter, illegal dumpsites, graffiti, and vacant lots not only hurt property values and discourage economic development, but also reduce a community's collective self-esteem. But it doesn't have to be that way. Residents can take ownership of the appearance of their neighborhoods and communities. They just need a little help, and that's where Keep Massachusetts Beautiful can help. We teach local volunteer leaders how to collaborate with local government and business leaders to achieve significant and lasting improvements. We focus on three core impact areas in order to improve the appearance of local communities and change behaviors: Litter prevention and cleanup: Understand who and what is causing litter and organize volunteer and government resources to clean it up. Beautification and community greening: Improving public spaces with landscaping projects, tree planting, and other infrastructure improvements helps build community pride and spurs local economic activity. Recycling and Waste Reduction: Effective recycling programs reduce the volume of trash that ends up in landfills, in our waterways, and as litter. We cover the entire state of Massachusetts and are working to grow our network of certified affiliates among the state's 351 towns and cities.

The Friends of the Drew Forest is an entirely volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created by environmental leaders from Madison and neighboring towns, dedicated community volunteers and Drew University alumni. Our vision is that the Drew Forest Preserve will be permanently protected as open space through a conservation sale that will strengthen Drew University and its financial future. Instead of selling to a developer, we propose a win-win: If Drew works with Madison Borough to sell this special land for full market value to a conservation buyer, Drew could benefit financially while securing the forest for student and public use. We are dedicated to forming partnerships to: - Protect and sustain the Drew Forest Preserve, 53 biodiverse acres that provide countless benefits to Drew University, Madison Borough, and surrounding communities along with critical wildlife habitat; - Raise awareness about the value of forests in aquifer protection, supporting biodiversity, climate resilience, temperature control, air quality, and quality of life; - Facilitate the enjoyment, understanding, and study of nature.
