Essex County Greenbelt

Each June Greenbelt holds our signature event, Art in the Barn, a fine art exhibit and sale that benefits Essex County Greenbelt and over 150 artists. This successful event, which raises funds that make a significant contribution to Greenbelt’s land conservation work, would not be possible without the aid of over 155 loyal volunteers (in 2025). If you would like to volunteer at Art in the Barn in 2026, please sign up here or email John Turvey jturvey@ecga.org with the time(s) you would like to commit to working.

Greenbelt protects natural land and working farms across Essex County forever, helping to conserve healthy ecosystems, clean water, local food supplies, scenic landscapes and free, accessible places for all to benefit from nature.

Greenbelt works within the 34 cities and towns of Essex County, Massachusetts, helping individuals, families, municipalities and organizations realize their land conservation goals.
