About the Stow Conservation Trust
The Stow Conservation Trust (SCT), located in Stow, Massachusetts, is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. The Trust was founded in 1977 by a small group of concerned citizens who perceived the significance of the town in relation to its greater environment. Our purpose is to assist in and promote the preservation and conservation of land in Stow. We feel our membership provides a rich resource for the town in achieving these goals.Our Mission

The Way We Look At It...
Protection, care and celebration of the land. Over the years, this has resonated with Stow citizens. It is a continuing process of appreciation for what the land gives us–from the bugs and skunk cabbage to the tall trees and diversity of birds; from its contribution to a healthy environment of fresh air and clean water to providing a buffer from congestion, crowding, and heavy demands on our town that come with too many houses too quickly. Whether you go out on the land or not, it has a significant impact on us all.
