Dear Visitors,
We know that this is a challenging and stressful time. Please know that we are continually monitoring the COVID-19 situation here in the Berkshires. Due to current restrictions, we are aware that travel to our region this spring and possibly this summer may not be an option.
Before traveling, we advise checking in with each organization and business for updates regarding schedules, events, and operating hours. As of now, the state of Massachusetts has closed all non-essential businesses. Jacob’s Pillow Dance has, sadly, announced the cancellation of its 2020 Festival season.
Of course, the great outdoors of the Berkshires can provide health benefits — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Visit our Hiking & Biking page for a list of options (please note: as of March 24, all of Mass Audubon’s wildlife sanctuaries and trails will be closed to visitation until further notice, with Trustees of Reservations closing all outdoor properties at least through April 7).
