About The Trustees

Founded in 1891 by a group of visionary volunteers, The Trustees of Reservations is the nation's premier conservation and preservation organization. The Trustees’ preserves, for public use and enjoyment, properties of exceptional scenic, historic, and ecological value in Massachusetts. Our properties are open to all, and we thrive by involving as many people as possible. 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 our visitors, supporters, volunteers, and 100,000 Member households.
