Eastern BluebirdEversource will continue to manage its properties and administer land management practices to ensure protection of these open spaces. Wherever practical, our properties will be made available to the public for passive recreational use.

Why do the Eversource companies own all this land in the first place?
Many of the early leaders of the company had the foresight to understand that the growing population in the region would demand a significant expansion of the electrical and natural gas distribution and transmission systems, as well as regulated generation facilities.

Decades ago Eversource companies began purchasing land all over the region to provide for the infrastructure that would be needed to expand the generation, distribution, and transmission efforts of today.

Will Eversource's land holdings continue to increase in the region?
Yes, we will continue to purchase property for a specific electric or gas transmission and/or distribution project that fits with our current business planning.

Are there any rules I should follow when visiting Eversource properties?
