Supplying much of Massachusetts with the Quabbin Reservoir’s precious freshwater, a top tourist destination in Old Sturbridge Village, and hubs in Worcester, Leominster, and Fitchburg,
the Bay State’s Central Massachusetts region also offers countless adventures on railways and greenways, gentle sloping hills supporting fertile orchards and farms, and winter sports close to Boston.
Environmental organizations focus on urban environmental justice, controlling toxic releases from solid waste incinerators, preserving agricultural lands, and protecting the Blackstone and Nashua Rivers.
