Become a member of New Canaan Land Trust and help safeguard the natural treasures that make New Canaan extraordinary
New Canaan Land Trust—New Canaan’s largest private landowner—protects more than 400 acres of natural open space, maintains over 6.5 miles of local walking trails, nurtures pollinator-friendly meadows, restores wildlife habitat, rebuilds historic stone walls, and offers internship programs for young people in our community, along with educational and engaging programs for all ages.
Every bit of this conservation work is powered by donors. The Land Trust receives no operational funding from the town, relying entirely on the generosity of supporters like you.
This year, an anonymous donor has generously offered to match up to $50,000 in contributions made before the end of the year. Please consider becoming a member and donating to New Canaan Land Trust’s Annual Appeal. With your support—and the match—New Canaan Land Trust can continue safeguarding the landscapes, wildlife, and outdoor experiences that make New Canaan so special.
It is safe, simple, and stress-free to make your membership gift online. Just fill out the form below and tap Submit—that’s it. And if the form doesn’t display right away, a quick page refresh usually does the trick.
