March 1, 2022: City of Waltham Purchases the Field Station from UMass. Stay tuned for more details!
A Regional Center for Sustainability
The Waltham Field Station houses several different non-profits all working to advance local food systems and sustainability. Collectively these organizations have an irreplaceable & regional impact. Find out more about the organizations that call the Waltham Field Station home and the work that happens here by visiting the Tenants and Insider Look pages.
Under Threat of Closure
The Field Station is currently owned by the University of Massachusetts, who have publicly anounced that they plan to shutter the facility December 31st, 2019. This puts all of the non-profits housed in the building at risk of eviction. We are invested in finding a solution that allows these non-profits to continue the important work they do with minimal disruption to their operations. To find out more about the current status of the Field Station visit the Updates & News page.
