What We Do
Manchester Essex Conservation Trust preserves in perpetuity the natural beauty, wildlife habitat, and open space resources in our two towns and adjacent communities. We protect this land through acquisitions, conservation restrictions, donations, and engagement with the public. Through sharing this land, we encourage and support exploration of nature, education, and scientific study.
