Explore The Last Green Valley
What Is The Last Green Valley?
The Last Green Valley is green by day and dark by night. We are a National Heritage Corridor with a rich history in a surprisingly rural landscape. With 84% forest and farm, we are the last swath of dark night sky in the coastal sprawl between Boston and Washington DC.
The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) works for you in the National Heritage Corridor. Together, we can care for it, enjoy it and pass it on!

Fall arrived in the wee hours of the morning -- 2:49 a.m., to be exact. The days are noticeably shorter now, the birds far fewer, and the leaves are showing signs of turning. The fall harvest is coming to markets near you. Orchards are bursting with apples. Baked goods are bursting with pumpkin and apple flavors, and the cider is fresh! It also means Walktober is hitting its stride with more than 280 adventures available to you to enjoy this incredible season.
