Our Mission
Charlestown’s Land Trust preserves and protects the distinctive character of our local area through acquisition and management of open space.
A Letter From our President
Seasonal changes are coming and with greater daylight and warmth from the sun weʼll all be spending more time outdoors. We hope by taking the time to explore and walk one of the many open spaces in town you will catch the passion that is the Charlestown Land Trust. We are people working together to protect Charlestownʼs distinct character and beauty. We welcome new neighbors as members to assist in our partnerships and goals, to build a stronger Charlestown.
Looking to the summer, the Farmerʼs Market will re-open Fridays, starting at the end of June. Our location will remain the same thanks to the Church of the Holy Spirit at 4150 Old Post Road. This festive weekly event is the place to get your vegetables, baked goods, meats, and join your community in celebrating open space and local products.

Community Beach Clean Up
Our town wide beach clean up, held on Sunday, April 20TH, was a huge success, despite the drizzly weather. Debris from the winter storm was gathered and the Charlestown Beach Pavilion was spruced up.
Thanks to more than 25 residents, our wonderful seaside community is looking better than ever. Goodbye Hurricane Sandy!
