Boston Waterfront Initiative

Coastal Strategy
In the face of climate change and coastal development, The Trustees has a responsibility to manage and preserve our coastal places. With buy-in from communities, conservation and research partners, and government we are developing creative ways to ensure that the Massachusetts coast is protected for generations to come.
Public Gardens
The public gardens cared for and protected by The Trustees are a living documentary of Massachusetts horticulture and design traditions.
I Am America
The Trustees has designed an innovative, year-long initiative presenting the stories of American identity connected to its properties, using various visual arts, poetry, music, dance, conversations, interactions and publications.
