The Berlin Land Trust is a non-profit corporation of volunteers with two major goals:
To preserve land in the town of Berlin and Central Connecticut. A parcel may be significant because of its scenic beauty or importance as a wetland, historic site or natural habitat.
To educate residents about the benefits of land preservation and the local environment. As the pace of development in Connecticut increases, Berlin residents should understand the importance of open space preservation. Land that is under BLT protection will be preserved, according to the wishes of the donor, as permanent open space, kept in its natural state for the benefit of all residents of the town.
