Protecting natural areas and farmland around
the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord Rivers
Best of Nature Sightings 2025
Thanks to the many photographers who share their images with SVT, we added more than 200 photos to our Nature Sightings page in 2025. Here are a few of our favorites that we think are worth a second look.
SVT's Annual Gala
Everyone's invited! At our 2026 Annual Gala on Saturday, February 7, we'll enjoy socializing, dinner, and a Flower Power Costume Contest. Plus, our companion Online Auction starts January 30.
Conservation Successes!
SVT recently protected two new landscapes: a 108-acre property on the Upton-Mendon line and 12.8-acres of farmland in Carlisle. We now own 96 properties and hold 107 conservation restrictions.
