Protecting our lands. Preserving our legacy.

Welcome to the website of the Mattapoisett Land Trust. We have decided to enter the cyber-age for a number of reasons. Specifically, we would like to:

• Make it easier for you to learn about the nature of our organization and why we exist.
• Provide a reference where you can find a schedule our activities.
• Encourage you both to use our properties and to appreciate their biodiversity.
• Solicit new members and volunteers for the ongoing support and growth of the organization.
• Facilitate your display of support for the Mattapoisett Land Trust through the purchase of merchandise bearing our logo.

We encourage you to use the Contact Us page with your comments about our mission, our actions on behalf of that mission, or just on the characteristics of this website. The Directors of the MLT want to serve the needs of the community, but, to do so effectively, we need feedback from you. Please don’t be shy; let us know what you think.

We hope that you will use this website frequently to learn about the activities of the MLT and that you will choose to be a part of our efforts to protect land on the South Coast of Massachusetts for present and future generations.

Once again, welcome to our website. We hope you enjoy your visit.

If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if a town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!
-Henry David Thoreau, “Life without Principle”
