The Harvard Forest, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and Highstead Foundation, along with their partners in Academics for Land Protection in New England (ALPINE), today recognized the University of Massachusetts Amherst with the Charles H.W. Foster Award for Academic Leadership in Land Conservation. The ceremony was held in the Olver Design Building, a wood building on campus that permanently sequesters an estimated 2,000 tons of carbon, the equivalent of taking 400 cars off the road for a year.
