Greenbelt Land Trust of Mid-Missouri

Greenbelt Land Trust of Mid-Missouri is an accredited nonprofit conservation land trust working in Boone County, MO, as well as the seven surrounding counties, to conserve the streams, forests, grasslands, and farmlands that represent our distinctive landscape for present and future generations.  Greenbelt Land Trust of Mid-Missouri began in 1993 as the Greenbelt Coalition, an advocacy group supporting conservation ideals and the vision of creating a network of “greenbelt” lands in and around Columbia, Missouri. Working in partnership with the City of Columbia, Greenbelt laid the groundwork for the public trail in the Hinkson Creek valley. In 1997, the Greenbelt Coalition accepted its first donation of private land, and the concept of a land trust emerged. In 2004, we completed the transition and became Greenbelt Land Trust of Mid-Missouri.  Since then, we have conserved more than 750 acres of vital natural and agricultural land in Mid-Missouri, and are adding more all the time.
