The Harvard Conservation Trust relies on donated funds to fulfill our conservation mission. HCT has protected over 1,000 acres since the Trust was founded in 1973, and responds to new opportunities each year with your help.  The Harvard Conservation Trust works closely with area residents, local and federal agencies and others who are interested in helping to preserve the beautiful open spaces that are so vital to our way of life. We are deeply appreciative of the support we receive, and pledge to continue to save natural areas, wildlife habitats, streams and rivers, working farms and historic lands to benefit of our community and as a legacy for future generations. Your contribution makes you a part of the work we do to secure a healthier, greener place to live!
