Bethlehem

Causes

The Bethlehem Land Trust is a nonprofit organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. They are dedicated to the conservation of open space, agricultural land, forests, water resources, and native plant and animal life, all of which contribute to the rural character of our community. The Bethlehem Land Trust is funded entirely by the generosity of individuals and businesses in the area that share an appreciation of the unique character of our town and wish to ensure it remains unspoiled.

Bethlehem Land Trust volunteers make a difference in their communities by helping protect open space, restoring habitat, and building and maintaining trails. They also need volunteers to help with our fundraisers, legal advice, grant writing, and much more.
