Breaking Down Winter Barriers
Winter is here and a crisp cold air has settled across New England. At first glance, it feels like nature has hunkered down for the winter too, just like many of us. But if you bundle up, step oustide, and look closely — this time of year there’s much to explore and enojoy outside.
Stewards of History
Rolling dunes, towering forests, sprawling farms, looming mountains, inspiring museums, enduring structures—the diversity of special places The Trustees cares for is staggering. However, the organization’s responsibility extends far beyond natural landscapes and unique buildings. There is also an often-unseen element just as critical to the role of forever stewards: the historic collections.
Events Curated for our Members
Find peace in the outdoors this winter, take party in a cozy cooking class, or plan a Valentine’s Day date! Whatever your winter vibes, you have something for you.
