Who We Are

As a private, non-profit land trust, Common Ground Land Trust Inc. (CGLT) partners with landowners to protect the remaining forests, farms and scenic and historic areas of Spencer and Leicester for the enjoyment of present and future generations. Our goal is to protect our natural resources, at the same time helping landowners find alternative solutions to selling their land for development.

 

Our Goals

The long-term goals of Common Ground Land Trust are to:

1. Acquire, hold, maintain & enforce such conservation restrictions, easements and other interests in land, water areas, and structures as it deems appropriate and in the public interest.
2. Educate the public with regard to natural resources and their conservation and stewardship.
