Founded in 1958, the Grafton Forest Association was established by local Graftonians who had the foresight to see the long term benefits of land conservation.
We are now known as the Grafton Land Trust (GLT), and we continue to work closely with landowners, federal, state, and local governments, and other conservation groups to permanently preserve open space and natural ecosystems in Grafton. Seven hundred and ten acres are now protected. Despite this great accomplishment, we must all continue our work to ensure that precious land is preserved for future generations.
We invite you to use this web site to explore our properties, learn about our activities, and join with us in our efforts to protect the natural environment of Grafton.

The annual GLT membership drive has ended, but it's never to late to join! Please support us. Our mission is important and we need your help!

Click here to go to the "join" page or email us at info@graftonland.org.
Just a few reasons to support us....
1. Because the land we preserve today will be preserved forever - benefiting our children and grandchildren in perpetuity!
2. Because open space is important to our community NOW.
3. Because balancing growth and conservation is important to the health of our amazing town.
4. Because the land we preserve protects our water supply and critical wildlife habitats.
5. Because EVERYONE benefits from open space preservation.
We are your friends, your neighbors, and YOUR Land Trust!
