What is a Land Trust?

A land trust or land conservancy is a community-based, nonprofit organization that actively works to permanently conserve land. A land trust is separate from Open Space and not run by the Town. 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. (https://landtrustalliance.org/why-land-matters/land-conservation/about-land-trusts)
