The National Trust Act (1907)

The National Trust Act of 1907 established the National Trust in the UK to preserve historic buildings, parks, and natural landscapes for public benefit. It created a legal framework allowing the Trust to acquire, care for, and protect important heritage sites. The Act aims to conserve the country’s cultural and natural treasures for future generations, ensuring these assets are preserved responsibly and remain accessible to the public. It marked a significant step in heritage conservation by empowering an organization dedicated to safeguarding the nation’s historical and environmental heritage.
