  • Weekly real estate transactions for Berkshire County, Northern Litchfield County and, now, Columbia County
  • Market Perspective – The 2021 year-end real estate report from the Berkshire Board of REALTORS. What does it tell us?
  • The Self-Taught Gardener – A century of conservation policy has focused primarily on wetlands and forests, ignoring the value of grasslands as bird habitat. It’s time we started gardening for the birds.
  • Gardener’s Checklist – It’s a good time to take a hike or a stroll near a wetland or moist woodland and catch a first glimpse of winter’s imminent departure.
