The Acton Conservation Trust (ACT) is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of Acton's open space through land acquisitions, conservation restrictions, and public policy changes. We provide education to landowners and the public about options for preservation. ACT is one of more than 130 such land trusts in Massachusetts. To join us: contact Susan Mitchell-Hardt at info@actonconservationtrust.org
Our Goals and Strategies
- Identify open space parcels under threat of development and seek ways to minimize development.
- Create a constituency of like-minded citizens to support land preservation in Acton.
- Work with town government, business and landowners to encourage public policies which provide for the conservation of open space.

Who Owns the Land?
We had a wonderful night with local author John Hanson Mitchell. He is one of the most intriguing, original nature writers alive. John addressed the evolution of land trusts (such as ACT) and the changing legal patterns of private ownership and public land.
