Founded in 1992, the North County Land Trust works in the diverse communities of north central Massachusetts, to conserve land and water resources, farms, urban parks, working forests and scenic landscapes for the benefit of all. The organization tailors its conservation services to the needs of each community, from small urban centers to rural towns and bedroom communities.

North County Land Trust owns over 1,000 acres of conservation land and holds conservation restrictions on an additional 475 acres. Nine conservation areas are open to the public with marked trails that are for multi-use recreation including hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking, horseback riding and geocaching.
