Welcome

The Attleboro Land Trust is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to keeping Attleboro green.

We currently own and manage several 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!
