Northeast Wilderness Trust is a non-profit land trust based in Montpelier, VT working to protect forever-wild landscapes for nature and people across the Northeast. As the only land trust working across New England and New York exclusively to protect land as wilderness, the organization uses various land conservation tools and often works with conservation partners including other land trusts. The Wilderness Trust was founded in 2002, and protects more than 78,000 acres in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, eastern New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
