Farm and Forest Trust

A Farm and Forest Trust is a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving agricultural land and forests. It works to protect these areas from development, ensuring they remain available for farming, forestry, and natural habitats. The trust often acquires land or holds conservation easements—legal agreements that restrict certain types of development—allowing the land to be used sustainably. These efforts preserve open space, support local food systems, and maintain ecological health for future generations. Essentially, it balances land use, environmental preservation, and community needs through strategic conservation practices.
