The mission of The Trustees is to preserve, for public use and enjoyment, properties of exceptional scenic, historic, and ecological value. We protect special places in MA for everyone forever!

Volunteers are at the heart of The Trustees – communities of individuals, organizations and companies committed to preserving and protecting the places we love for all to enjoy.  Volunteerism has been a cornerstone of The Trustees since 1891 in conserving land for people and continues to play a role in shaping its future. 

We are a diverse community of people who want to protect the places we love or simply like to be outdoors. Together with our neighbors, we preserve the distinct character of our communities and inspire a commitment to special places across the commonwealth. Our passion is to share with everyone the irreplaceable landscapes and landmarks that we care for – as we know how valuable they are to our everyday life.

As a volunteer, you are a representative of The Trustees and are an important part of making our mission a reality!
