Charlestown Land Trust

Support Our Work

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Charlestown Land Trust relies on the generosity of our community. Gifts of all kinds provide essential resources for our work—protecting land and wildlife habitat, safeguarding water resources, constructing and maintaining trails, stewarding nearly 700 acres (and counting!), and offering educational walks, programs, and general operating support. Whether through volunteering, giving, or sharing our work with others, you help carry our conservation efforts forward. Thank you for being part of the CLT community.

Planned gifts offer a meaningful way to create a lasting legacy, helping protect Charlestown’s special places for generations to come. CLT’s “Muddy Boot” is an honorary association of individuals who have included the Charlestown Land Trust in their wills or estate plans. If you are interested in a planned gift, we would be honored to work with you and your advisors.
