Welcome to the Southington Land Trust
We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1973 that seeks to preserve nature in our community.
What is a Land Trust?
A land trust or land conservancy is a community-based, nonprofit organization that actively works to permanently conserve land. In some cases, land trusts acquire land outright. They also partner to conserve land that remains the property of willing landowners using a tool called a conservation easement. Land trusts also manage or restore land once it has been conserved.

Celebrating 50 years!
In March the State of Connecticut General Assembly issued an official citation to recognize the Southington Land Conservation Trust for 50 years of dedicated service to the town of Southington. Thank you to State Representative Chris Poulos for bestowing upon us this great honor!
At our Anniversary Dinner and Annual Meeting in May, we were presented with a proclamation by Town Council members Victoria Triano and Val DePaulo recognizing our contribution to Southington in preserving and protecting natural areas. We are honored to have received this and will continue our efforts to protect Southington’s natural areas in the future!
