What Is The Last Green Valley?

Welcome to 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!

They are even responsible for sustaining the plants the provide half the worlds oils, fibers and other raw materials.

Bees are incredible. They are the workhorses of pollination. But did you know scientists who study bees -- aka melittologists -- say there are about 372 different species of bees in southern New England. Many of them can only be differentiated through genetic testing. In addition to honey bees, we have a variety of bumble bees and sweat bees too. Unfortunately, many populations of our native bees are in decline. One thing we can all do is reduce our use of pesticides on our lawns and gardens.
