Sharon Friends of Conservation was founded in 1986. Our mission is to support and work with the Sharon (MA) Conservation Commission “to promote,
encourage and foster the preservation, care and maintenance of
all
public lands, waters and wildlife in the Town of Sharon, Massachusetts
in order to further the recreation and enjoyment of the town’s
residents.”
It is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization.
SFOC sponsors interesting and informative meetings, holds work
parties to maintain trails, and leads hikes to encourage everyone
to enjoy the unique beauty of Sharon’s natural environment.

Featured Sighting: Cooper's Hawk
This
Cooper's Hawk alit in
the dogwood tree right outside the photographer's living room window as
he was working at his desk. Without getting up, he reached for his camera
and snapped this photo through the window just before it flew away. Cooper's
hawks look like Sharp-shinned hawks, but Cooper's hawks have a more rounded
tail. Also, the streaks on the breast of a juvenile Cooper's hawk are
narrower than those on the breast of a sharp-shinned hawk. (Photo by
