The mission of the Barnstable Land Trust is to protect the special places people love for present and future generations. Our role in supporting our vision is as a leader in collaborative land conservation and stewardship, community engagement, and advocacy for our natural and cultural resources.Founded in 1983, Barnstable Land Trust is a non-profit, member-supported conservation and land preservation organization. We acquire open space to protect the natural resources of the Town of Barnstable. BLT holds wildlife habitat, scenic views, wetlands, woodlands, sensitive watershed parcels, forest and other valuable open space in its natural state for the benefit of the community. BLT has conserved over 1,100 acres and supported the Town in protecting over 11,000 more.
