Places We Protect

Since its founding in 2002, the Northeast Wilderness Trust has protected more than 8,500 acres of wilderness in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. These natural areas permanently secure wildlife habitat and help counter climate change by storing carbon. In some cases the Trust’s protected properties also support scientific research, environmental education, and quiet recreation. Most importantly, these wild places have been conserved to simply be; in addition to their many benefits to human communities, they have their own intrinsic value.

As of fall 2011, the Trust owns approximately 3,681 acres in fee and holds forever-wild conservation easements on another 4,832 acres, with parcels ranging from 30 to 2,100 acres. Conservation partners on protected properties include private individuals and families, secondary schools and universities, foundations and research organizations, and other land trusts.
