How We Work

The Wildlands Trust works to permanently protect and steward important habitats and landscapes by:

  • assisting landowners who wish to voluntarily conserve their properties;

  • assisting farmers and other landowners of working farms who want continue to support agriculture on their lands;

  • managing a portfolio of diverse habitats and undeveloped land that contributes to the rural character and quality of life in southeastern Massachusetts;

  • assisting towns that wish to protect open space;

  • fundraising and seeking grants for the purchase of properties with exceptional conservation values;

  • establishing partnerships with a range of private and public entities who share our goals; and

  • providing innovative tools to help promote and build sustainable communities in southeastern Massachusetts.
