Our Strategic Plan

In March 2007, The Trustees adopted an ambitious strategic plan (PDF) that lays out our vision for the future. By carrying out the strategies and actions outlined in the strategic plan, The Trustees of Reservations will engage an extensive network of people to further land conservation and stewardship at the local, regional, and statewide levels.

We’ll measure our success against the following outcomes:

  • Together with our conservation partners, we’ve helped preserve hundreds of thousands of additional acres that are vitally important to our quality of life, our communities, our cultural heritage, and our state’s ecology.

  • Working with the Massachusetts conservation community we are contributing to a high standard of stewardship of protected lands across the state.

  • A critical mass of the Commonwealth’s population views conserved landscapes and landmarks as essential to society’s quality of life and is actively working toward strong conservation outcomes across the state.

  • Massachusetts is at the forefront of action in addressing climate change. Non-profit organizations, led by the conservation community, are working with the public sector and the business community to promote sustainable practices in all aspects of society.

Our work will be guided four main goals:

  1. Focus and accelerate our land protection efforts.

  2. Engage and mobilize people and a broad range of partners to advocate and act for conservation.

  3. Through exemplary stewardship of our properties and conservation restrictions, lead by example and demonstrate the importance of conservation to Massachusetts and beyond.

  4. Be one of the best conservation organizations in the country.
