Consider protecting your land! Do you own a beautiful and unique piece of property? There are a number of ways that you can protect your land. Use our website to learn the basics of what we look for in a land conservation project, then get in touch with your legal or financial adviser and contact our Executive Director to see how your land could benefit our mission.

Visit our offices! Our offices are located on the Bullitt Reservation, a property of The Trustees of Reservations. There are trails to explore, a beaver pond, and a beautiful barn in the process of being renovated. Our offices are located in the Bullitt farmhouse, which underwent a deep energy retrofit in 2010. If you’d like to come inside the farmhouse, call ahead to make sure someone will be at the office during your visit: (413) 628-4485.
