Bolton Conservation Trust Membership
We invite you to join the Bolton Conservation Trust and help preserve the rural character of Bolton that we all enjoy. The Trust has thus far been successful through the financial support of its members. Membership funding provides the resources to help balance the spread of development in Bolton. Even though Bolton's population has multiplied, The Trust has played a lead role in increasing protected open space and farms in the town.
Your membership will continue to help landowners donate land or conservation restrictions. Even land donations entail significant legal, engineering and maintenance expenses. Now these properties combined can total hundreds of acres of open space in our town. Although a small percentage of the town land, conservation areas not only make Bolton a beautiful place to live but also help maintain the value of our property.
With your help The Trust can continue to help obtain Agricultural Preservation Restrictions on property, as has already been done for The Nashoba Valley Winery, and for the Schartner, Nicewicz and Schultz farms that make up nearly a 300 acre block of protected farmland.
The Trust strives to preserve the town's environmental future by connecting with Bolton's children to educate them on the unique natural world in which they live. The Trust offers the Tom Denney Nature summer camp and sponsors the parent-run hands-on Four Winds nature program which reaches over 700 students in Bolton's schools.
Tax-deductible regular memberships start as low as $35 (for students $10), and family memberships of $60 or higher can select their Tom Denney Nature summer camp weeks early. If you are a member interested in a more active role in conservation projects, please contact us through this membership registration website (email:
), the regular BCT web site at www.BoltonConservationTrust.org or call us at 978-779-2754.
Working with town boards and local and regional agencies, the Bolton Conservation Trust would like to continue to preserve Bolton's rural character and keep it the special place that it is, but your support is needed.
