SVT is a nonprofit land trust that conserves vital natural areas in the region between Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts.

We care for some of this region’s most important forests, wetlands, and grasslands—natural areas that support wildlife habitat, working farms, and recreational trails. As of Spring 2026, SVT cares for more than 6,240 acres in 96 SVT-Owned Conservation Areas and 107 Conservation Restrictions, and we have protected more than 85 miles of trails. Since our inception, we have assisted other organizations and governmental agencies in protecting an additional 3,000 acres in the region.
