Give Back to the Land Day 2026

Join nature lovers from across the region to support local land conservation for the 7th Annual Give Back to the Land online giving day, which begins Tuesday, April 7th!

Hilltown Land Trust has the goal of raising at least $20,000 to support the needs of the community for climate change mitigation, carbon capture and storage, water quality, biodiversity of native species, and land access.

This year, we have two matching opportunities: 

Matching Gift #1: 2X Your One-Time Gift 

Between now and midnight on April 7, every one-time gift will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to HLT’s board and other generous supporters—up to $8,000. 

Matching Gift #2: 3X Your New, Renewed, or Upgraded Monthly Gift 

This year, an anonymous donor is challenging Hilltown Land Trust and Kestrel Land Trust to build our sustaining membership. A dedicated naturalist and conservation advocate has made a second challenge to Hilltown Land Trust and our partners at Kestrel: She will match the annual value of every new, renewed, or upgraded sustaining monthly gift made during Give Back to the Land Day to either organization—up to $5,000 for each land trust. 

This means a monthly gift to HLT is worth 3X its annual amount. A $25/month commitment ($300/year) becomes $900 for land conservations, as long as your first monthly gift is made by midnight on April 7. Just select “Monthly” below to become a Sustaining Member and triple your impact!

You can learn more about the impact of your gift on our website, and this collaborative giving day by visiting givebacktotheland.org.

If you prefer to make a gift via mail for Give Back to the Land Day rather than online, please mail your check to: Hilltown Land Trust / 332 Bullitt Road / Ashfield, MA 01330.
