We’re a hardworking, homegrown group that depends on people like you. Over the past 34 years, we’ve protected over 500 parcels of land and more than 52,000 acres. Thousands of people have participated in these accomplishments and in the ongoing stewardship of conserved properties. It takes all of us, working together, to choose a vibrant, resilient and sustainable future for the Upper Valley — and to make it happen.
Indigenous People have cared for this land for centuries. The lands that the Upper Valley Land Trust owns, conserves, and works on, and the land on which we all live, are the traditional, ancestral, unceded homelands of the indigenous people of the Abenaki Nation, a tribe of the Wabanaki Confederacy.
Indigenous People are not gone, they live here and are a part of the past, present, and future of our land and our communities. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Abenaki people, past and present.

red efts too!
If you would like to check out these vernal pools and learn about some of their residents, join us and the Norwich Conservation Commission this Saturday for our Annual Vernal Pool Hike!
