Pawtucket Farm Wildlife Sanctuary is a 20-acre productive landscape in Lowell, Massachusetts, that has long provided Christmas trees and produce to the community. Mass Audubon, Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust, and Mill City Grows have partnered to protect Pawtucket Farm to establish an urban wildlife sanctuary, farm, and education center for the community of Lowell. Agency’s work started with the Framework Plan in 2022, Phase 1 opened in 2021, and Phase 2 of the project began in March 2025. To read more about Agency’s role, click here.
The Bay is a 10-acre public park on Sarasota’s waterfront, transforming a previously impervious parking lot into a resilient and ecologically vibrant gathering place. Following an inclusive master planning process, the design balances community needs with environmental stewardship, integrating living shorelines, rain gardens, and denitrification systems that treat over 70 million gallons of stormwater annually. Phase 1 of the project celebrated its third anniversary last November, Phase 2 opened in fall 2025, and Phase 3 is currently underway. To read more about Agency’s role, click here.
