Our Mission

The Rochester Land Trust, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to land conservation, the preservation of Rochester's rural character, the permanent conservation of open space, and the education of its citizens in the protection of the town's natural resources. The Trust acquires and holds real property for educational, recreational and conservation purposes in the interest of the public and promotes conservation easements in privately held land. The Land Trust cares for and maintains land under its stewardship and assists the Town of Rochester in publicly funded land acquisitions.
