New Haven Land Trust
Overview
Our Mission
New Haven Land Trust engages people in stewardship and cultivation of the land for a healthier community and environment. We achieve this through: Land Conservation: We maintain six preserves, close to 80 acres, comprising a variety of habitats: tidal wetlands, coastal upland forest and grassland, traprock ridge, riparian forest and fresh water wetlands. Community Gardening: We provide land, technical assistance and supplies for nearly 50 community vegetable gardens. Environmental Education: We offer educational programs about the environment, nature, land and gardening.
