Our Work

The Charlestown Land Trust is a locally led, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving the landscapes and waterways that define our community. Since 1996, we have worked to safeguard lands of ecological, historic, scenic, agricultural, and educational significance in Charlestown. Here’s a little bit more about what we do:

ହ Permanently protect land through conservation easements, land donations, and direct purchases. With nearly 700 acres under protection, we ensure that these special places remain conserved in perpetuity.

ହ Monitor and manage conserved lands to ensure their health, biodiversity, and ecological integrity remain intact.

ହ Collaborate with state agencies, local governments, and conservation partners to protect critical ecosystems and wildlife habitats across the region.

ହ Maintain hiking trails to provide public access to the beautiful open spaces we conserve, encouraging outdoor exploration and appreciation.

ହ Foster a deeper connection to nature through educational programs, including guided hikes, paddles, lectures, special events, and presentations that inspire environmental stewardship.
