Since 1980, we have completed more than $230 million in land conservation projects—nearly 14,500 acres—across Massachusetts, from preserving productive farmland to safeguarding the rivers and streams that supply our drinking water.
Today, our work is more important than ever. People everywhere are reconnecting with the outdoors close to home, from backyards and orchards to ball-fields and beaches. These special places bring families and communities together and help keep us active and healthy: in Massachusetts, where obesity has increased 47 percent since 1990, they provide critical opportunities to exercise and experience nature.
To help provide communities with the green space they need, The Trust for Public Land combines local knowledge with the extensive resources of a national organization. Our award-winning team offers expertise in conservation finance, innovative negotiation and planning strategies, and cutting-edge mapping technology.
