Advocates For Conservation Of Oakhams Rural Nature & Safety

Advocates for Conservation of Oakham's Rural Nature & Safety (theACORNS.org) is a resident-founded 501(c)(3) in Oakham, Massachusetts fighting to preserve the town's rural character, health, and safety against a standalone, grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project that the group says would bypass local bylaws. It works through environmental advocacy, community education, public awareness campaigns, and public materials like signage and flyers, and has filed formal comments (e.g. with the Massachusetts Energy Facilities Siting Board) on the project's behalf.
