Founded in the City of Boston by landscape architect and open space visionary Charles Eliot in 1891, The Trustees is the nation’s first and the Commonwealth’s largest preservation and conservation nonprofit. We are the largest private landowner of protected coastline in the state, with more than 120 miles in our care. For more than 125 years, we have worked to preserve and protect dynamic natural and cultural sites--from beaches and community gardens, to farms, historic homesteads, designed landscapes, and hiking trails—for public use and enjoyment. Today we are working to engage a larger constituency of Massachusetts residents, members, visitors, and public and private partners in our work to help protect our fragile natural, ecological, cultural, and coastal sites for current and future generations as they face increased impacts and risks from our changing climate. Our Boston Waterfront Initiative, One Waterfront, aims to create and manage a series of parks in Boston offering increased community access to dynamic open space and recreational opportunities along the waterfront that can also help to protect the city from increased flooding and sea level rise.
