Special Projects - The Trustees of Reservations

As a statewide organization with more than 110 years in the field, The Trustees of Reservations is well positioned to take advantage of conservation and stewardship opportunities. But in today's climate of escalating pressure from development, we are often faced with unprecedented challenges to fund major initiatives. To meet these challenges, special projects are established to focus fundraising efforts and engage the local community.
