Greenbelt, Essex County's Land Trust, is the most effective champion of land conservation, working to conserve the farmland, wildlife habitat and scenic landscapes throughout the region.

The North Andover Improvement Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1885 for the purpose of "the improvement of the physical aspect of the Town of North Andover, and the preservation of its natural beauties and points of historical interest."

COMPOSTING AND RECYCLING IN THE SCHOOL CAFETERIAS
In 2018 the North Andover Public School district was awarded a highly competitive grant from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP) to reduce waste. This funding enabled our students at North Andover Middle School (NAMS), Thomson, Atkinson, and Kittredge to begin a lunchroom sorting process in 2019-2020 to decrease their waste that will act as a guide for their future and the future of the Planet. Over 30,000 pounds was diverted that year alone!
