Welcome to the Wellesley Conservation Land Trust, Inc., formerly known as the Wellesley Conservation Council! As a private, non-profit land trust and conservation education organization, the WCLT is dedicated to protecting and preserving the natural environment of Wellesley, and maintaining sanctuaries that are open to the public for study and enjoyment. The WCLT also educates youth and adults in the importance of conservation through public programs. The WCLT takes title to properties, either through gifts or purchases, to establish permanent nature sanctuaries, as well as accepting conservation easements on private properties. The organization also provides resources to the public such as pamphlets describing its properties, and a guide book with maps of WCLT sanctuaries, as well as of Wellesley town conservation land and trails. The WCLT is committed to giving everyone the opportunity to learn about and appreciate the beauty of the natural environment in Wellesley. Through its dedication to preservation and education, the WCLT is making a positive impact on the community.
