For over 50 years, the Harvard Conservation Trust (HCT) has been dedicated to preserving the scenic beauty, rich wildlife, and open spaces that make Harvard extraordinary. Governed by a volunteer board of 15 Trustees—all Harvard residents—HCT operates as an independent, non-profit organization, allowing us to act swiftly and creatively in pursuing land conservation opportunities. Our work complements that of the Town Conservation Commission, but as a private entity, we have the flexibility to navigate acquisitions that may be beyond the town’s immediate reach. With the support of hundreds of members and six dedicated Board Committees, our Trustees bring expertise, passion, and a deep commitment to protecting the land, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy Harvard’s natural treasures.
