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 over 4,000 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 more than 1,400 acres in 49 Open Space Reserves, and steward 33 conservation restrictions on another 867 acres. We also maintain more than 30 miles of walking trails.

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