Egremont Land Trust Home 2024 Newsletter ELTs annual meeting at French Park Sept. 7 2024 Like many other environmental organizations the Egremont Land Trust was formed in response to a development threat. In 1985 opponents of the development of the old Jug End Resorts 1100 acres organized Egremont Environmental Action and challenged the developers proposal for 605 housing units there. Eventually after several years of complicated proceedings the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Management and the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife acquired the property and established the Jug End State Reservation and Wildlife Management Area.
