Martha's Vineyard's hundred square miles makes it impossible to forget that the world is finite.  Our agricultural heritage has bequeathed us instant access to open land and our lack of industry has left our coastline pristine.

People who come to Martha's Vineyard find a host of conservation organizations already in place. And the Land Bank fee immediately alerts newcomers to the  Martha's Vineyard’s priorities.  Island Grown Initiative and organic farms pay strict attention to earth-friendly practices that insure the health of the land and the consumer. Island businesses do their part by supporting the importance placed on  Martha's Vineyard’s environment.
