Talk:Friends of the Mt. Holyoke Range

Resons why this artticle should remain:

1. Notability. The FMHR is mentioned in a number of print and other media sources for its significant contributions in conserving the landscape of the Pioneer Valley region of Massachusetts. These incluce guidebooks, maps, newspaper articles, web articles, etc.

2. The Holyoke Range, which the non-profit is invested in, is under study by the National Park Service for inclusion in a new National Scenic Trail. This new NST is a "collaborative"--involving municipal, state, non-profit, and private groups. FMHR is one of these groups; therefore, they are a supporting member organization in the stewardship of a new National Scenic Trail.

3. FMHR has been key and instrumental in the rpeservation of notable historical properties (The Mount Holyoke Summit House); see Mount Holyoke.

4. Athough the FMHR website is down; this organization is not "astroturf". It is a valid non-profit organization with a history of activity.
