Mission
The Land Conservancy's vision is a beautiful, historic New England town rich in diverse wildlife, scenic beauty, and natural resources that will enhance the lives of its citizens. These goals are accomplished through:* Research: establishing the criteria by which conservation-worthy land will be identified.* Education: inform the community of the benefit they will realize through the donation of land to the Land Conservancy.* Strength: assemble and maintain a knowledgeable and diverse team of land stewards that will forever guard and help preserve gifts of land.* Professionalism: maintain a Board of Directors and Officers that will appropriately address the business of operating a land trust that meets or exceeds its obligations to the community.
Program accomplishments
- One of the primary activities of the Land Conservancy relates to ongoing stewardship responsibilities. Members of the Board conduct annual field reviews of Land Conservancy properties and easements, at no cost, to insure that their existing condition is found to be consistent with the donors wishes and expectations.Expenses $15,785
