The Franklin Land Trust is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that has been in business since 1987. The Franklin Land Trust works with landowners who seek to protect the farms, forests, and other natural resources significant to the environmental quality, economy and rural character of our region. We celebrate the landscape, history and rural culture of western Massachusetts and work to ensure, through a program of land protection, that the historic pattern of field, woodland and village will endure for the benefit of generations to come.
