The Sharon Land Trust is dedicated to stewarding our lands and protecting those of special scenic, ecological, or agricultural value. The Land Trust owns and oversees more than 4,600 acres, including 10 preserves that are open to the public and offer some of the best hiking trails in Connecticut. Our work ensures that these lands—and others like them—are protected in perpetuity.
