The Trustees of Reservations
About The Trustees
Founded in 1891 by a group of visionary volunteers, The Trustees of Reservations (The Trustees) is the nation's premier conservation and preservation organization. The Trustees preserves the public use and enjoyment of properties of exceptional scenic, historic, and ecological value throughout Massachusetts. Our properties are open to all, and we thrive by involving as many people as possible in all that we do. We aim to protect special places for future generations to enjoy in perpetuity and have helped protect more than 50,000 acres, including 27,000+ acres on more than 120 reservations that are open to the public. As a non‑profit conservation organization, we are funded and supported entirely by visitors, supporters, volunteers, and our 100,000 Member households. Learn more about The Trustees at
