There are many ways to get to know Westport's conserved land this fall!

Our free public programs connect the community with the landscapes that make Westport unique. Upcoming programs include night hikes, new trails and our seasonal favorites including Bats Before Bedtime!

A single program is only the beginning. We hope you discover a property on a guided walk, return on your own to explore, and then choose to volunteer or support our work as a donor.

If you know someone who'd like to spend more time outdoors this fall, invite them to join you--share this post or the link below.

Preservation is a term we use often at Westport Land Conservation Trust, and it has a specific meaning in our work.

When we acquire land, or a conservation interest in a private property, our focus is on the qualities that make that place valuable to the community. These are known as conservation values, and preserving them means making sure future development pressure can't wear them away.

Those values look different from one parcel to the next. A single preserved property may include:

▪️Fields that continue to be farmed
▪️Habitat for native wildlife
▪️Streams and wetlands that feed the Westport River and Buzzards Bay
▪️Trails where people can experience the land firsthand

Preserving a property is only the first step; caring for it is a lasting commitment.

Preservation secures a property's conservation values for the long term. Stewardship is how we care for that land once we own it, year after year. That includes keeping trails safe and passable, removing invasive plants, and managing public use so visitors and wildlife can share each property well.

Volunteers are vital to this effort. Our Tuesday Trail Team is out almost every week pruning back trails and clearing debris, helping keep our destination properties ready for the community to enjoy.

If you'd like to lend a hand, find current volunteer opportunities at www.westportlandtrust.org/volunteer.
