Welcome to BCT!

Welcome to BCT!


OUR MISSION

Brewster Conservation Trust was established in 1983 as a private non-profit organization supported by memberships, donations, and grants. Our mission is to preserve open space, natural resources, and the rural character of Brewster and to promote a conservation ethic. BCT owns or has conservation restrictions on more than 200 parcels of land. As of January, 2024, BCT has protected more than 1,600 acres of environmentally important land.

WHAT DO WE DO

Environmental protection requires private/public partnerships and indeed, BCT works very closely with agencies of the town of Brewster. But as the private part of that partnership the BCT needs and appreciates the support of all Brewster residents and friends for our mission displayed above. The following pages will give you information about the open space we have protected, our continued activities in land protection, and how you can participate in this noble effort. Thank you for visiting.

WHAT IS A LAND TRUST?

Land trusts are local, state, or regional nonprofit organizations directly involved in protecting land for its natural, recreational, scenic, historical, or productive value. Most land trusts are private, nonprofit corporations. Land trusts are not "trusts" in the legal  sense, and may also be called "conservancies," "foundations," or any number of other names descriptive of their purpose.

The Brewster Conservation Trust is a 501-c3 nonprofit organization, governed by a volunteer board of Brewster residents and supported by the donations of residents, friends and foundations.

Fall 2024 Newsletter

This story started three generations ago when Ralph and Blanche Doble purchased over 70 acres along Satucket Rd. in 1955. Summer after summer, the couple’s son, five daughters, and 18 grandchildren would visit. Over the years, the land was subdivided and each Doble child received a house lot of approximately ten acres. The daughters each […]
