What We Do
Hello to friends and neighbors
Welcome to the website of the Brewster Conservation Trust. Environmental protection in this day and age 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.
Mission
Brewster Conservation Trust (BCT) was established in 1983 as a non-profit charitable 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 and has conservation restrictions on more than 150 parcels of land. By the end of 2015, BCT had protected more than 1,200 acres of environmentally important land.
The 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.

As you can see, most of our revenues go directly into preserving new properties.
