About Us
The Hamden Land Conservation Trust is a group of Hamden residents who care about open space and work to protect it in our town. We also work to educate the public about ways to promote environmental practices in their own properties. We protect diverse natural environments including forests, woodlands, wetlands, tidal marsh, and more. The many areas that are not too fragile or unsafe for public access are available for walking, bird watching and simply relaxing. Maintaining the diversity of Hamden’s habitat areas is at the heart of what we do. Our goal is to preserve what we can of Hamden’s last remaining open space parcels, to protect our forests, farmland and other natural features for the benefit of today’s families and future generations. 

​Our Mission
The mission of the Hamden Land Conservation Trust is to protect and preserve open space in Hamden, and to educate the public about conservation issues.
