The Trustees


  • About Us

    Who We Are

    We are more than 100,000 people like you who love the outdoors, who love the distinctive charms of New England, and who believe in celebrating and protecting them, for everyone, forever.

    Together with our neighbors, we protect the distinct character of our communities and inspire a commitment to our special places. Our passion is to share with everyone the irreplaceable natural and cultural treasures we care for.

    What We Do

    We enjoy and care for more than 100 special places – nearly 25,000 acres – all around Massachusetts. And we are actively building an extended family of friends and neighbors across the state that can help in their different ways.

    What We Are Up Against

    Through more than 100 years of hard work and high standards, The Trustees have built a sterling reputation and a stunning physical legacy.

    Today, the places we care about are going fast, and the forces undermining them, including climate change, are moving faster. We need to tap the wellspring of people’s joy – in their communities, their heritage, and the natural world – and mobilize a whole new generation to care.

    The Trustees adopted an ambitious Strategic Plan, Momentum: Trustees 2023, that outlines our approach to conservation in Massachusetts over the next decade.
