Land Protection

Neighbors and friends walk a conservation restriction donated to SVT by Bill & Ann Rawstron in Northborough, which protects 62 acres of upland meadow and wooded hillside near Mt. Pisgah
Sudbury Valley Trustees has been dedicated to conserving land and protecting wildlife habitat in the Concord,  Assabet and Sudbury river basin since 1953. As a regional non-profit land trust, we partner with landowners, other  land trusts, towns, state and federal agencies to conserve open space.
Often SVT is able to step in and work quickly with a landowner to help avoid selling their treasured family land for development, unplanned expenses, or estate taxes. We can assist you when planning the succession of your family’s land, which can be complex both legally and financially. Click here to learn more about different land conservation options.
