The Blackstone Canal Conservancy is a non-profit organization based in Hopedale, Massachusetts. Its primary goal is to preserve and protect the Blackstone Canal and its surrounding environment. The canal was built in the 1820s and was a vital transportation route for goods and people between Worcester and Providence. Today, the canal is a historic landmark, and the Conservancy is dedicated to maintaining its structure and promoting its history.

The Conservancy organizes events and activities throughout the year, including canal walks, bike rides, and educational tours. They also work with local schools and community groups to promote awareness of the canal's history and the importance of environmental preservation. The organization has a team of volunteers who help maintain the canal and the surrounding trails and parks.

The Blackstone Canal Conservancy has also been involved in several restoration projects in the area. In 2019, they completed the restoration of the Hopedale Dam, which provides a water source for the canal. They have also been working on restoring the canal locks and the towpath, which was used by horses to pull boats along the canal.

Overall, the Blackstone Canal Conservancy plays a vital role in preserving the history and environment of the Blackstone Canal and its surrounding area. Through education, restoration, and community involvement, they ensure that this important landmark will continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.
