Acres Land Trust

Our mission is to protect local land.

In support of our mission, ACRES:

• acquires and owns land: working land, forests, wetlands, native grasslands, unique geologic formations and habitat for rare, threatened and endangered species.
• manages land with a priority on protecting natural resources and minimizing human impact.
• actively manages non-native invasive plants to re-establish or establish our native plants.
• promotes the knowledge and appreciation of natural areas as living systems to which you belong.
• educates communities about the importance of natural areas and their preservation.
• encourages preserve use, provides trails, and offers guides on natural areas’ trail systems.
• develops scientific, educational and public recreation use of natural areas.
• strategically collaborates with and encourages other organizations and individuals to partner in and promote our mission.
• celebrates the success of our members in protecting our local places.
