Welcome!

Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust (DNRT) is a non-profit, membership-supported organization, formed in 1971 by community members concerned about the future of Dartmouth.  Over the years, DNRT has helped permanently protect nearly 5,000 acres of wetlands, wildlife habitat, farmland, forests, and scenic landscapes in Dartmouth, making us one of the most successful land trusts in the state.  

DNRT currently owns 1,588 acres in 53 Reserves, and stewards 40 conservation restrictions on another 1,156 acres. We also maintain nearly 40 miles of walking trails.

We invite you to learn about our work, enjoy our Reserves, and support land conservation in Dartmouth by vounteering, conserving your land or becoming a member.
