Help Keep Harvard Wild and Beautiful 🌿

Did you know the Harvard Conservation Trust has permanently protected over 1,200 acres of the forests, fields, and farmland that define the character of our town? Our town is a place where nature is part of daily life.

But keeping it that way takes all of us.

HCT runs on the passion of dedicated volunteers, yet caring for protected land and securing new properties before they’re lost to development requires real financial support.

As the year draws to a close, please consider including the Harvard Conservation Trust in your annual giving. Your gift helps ensure that Harvard’s natural beauty remains protected for generations to come.

🌱 Thank you for supporting the land that supports all of us.
