The Attleboro Land Trust recently joined with the Massachusetts Audubon
Society, the City of Attleboro, and the LaSalette Shrine to announce a
plan to preserve 110 acres of LaSalette woodlands through a conservation
restriction that would permanently prevent the land from being developed
and open it to visitors for nature walks and quiet contemplation.

Welcome
The Attleboro Land Trust is a non-profit organization that is dedicated
to keeping Attleboro green.
We currently own and manage eight
conservation areas. Most of our properties have walking trails
which are open to the public.
All of our properties have been donated by generous citizens for the
purpose of preserving open space for current and future generations.
Our activities include:
- Encouraging citizens and businesses to donate
land
- Caring for donated properties
- Educating the public on the importance of preserving undeveloped
land and open space
If you would like to help preserve open space in our city, become a part of the Attleboro Land
Trust. Meet new friends and contribute to your community. Get involved now!
