Who We Are
The Trustees has been protecting the Massachusetts shores for over 100 years. Beloved beaches, shorebirds, and historic oceanfront estates are all under our care, and we see thousands of visitors each year. In total we own and protect over 120 miles of coastline in Massachusetts with 35 properties including 75 miles of coastline located in 25 different communities, representing 16% of all protected coastline in MA, and more than any other single private landowner in the state.
A Coastal Vision
In the face of climate change and coastal development, we have a responsibility to champion and innovate, bringing a new energy and focus to bear for the future of our coastal places. This will require the participation of communities, conservation and research partners, and government. Together we can develop creative ways to ensure that the Massachusetts coast is protected for generations to come.
