THE BURLINGTON LAND TRUST
The mission of the Burlington Land Trust is to acquire, preserve and protect land of scenic,
natural or historic value in perpetuity for the benefit of present and future generations.
About
Founded in 1989, the Burlington
Land Trust is a non-profit organization funded by membership dues and donations.
The principle mission of any land trust is to conserve open space. (Land Trust FAQs)

BLT Membership
It's easy! For as little as $20, you can begin to make a difference. We depend on membership dues and donations to run our organization, pursue acquisitions, care for our properties and pay the legal fees associated with donations. A strong membership sends everyone a message that the BLT mission is important.
