Land Trust Works in Partnership to Preserve 110 Acres

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!

Donate Now Through Network for Good
