NEW - North Brook Trail connects the Oak Trail Circuit

We're proud to announce the opening of a new, multi-use passive recreational trail that connects multiple conservation areas, providing residents and visitors with a unique outdoor experience. This new trail stretches approximately 1.25 miles and winds through scenic forests, skirts agricultural fields, and through ecologically significant areas of our community.
Click HERE to go to the new trail map.

We are an independent, all-volunteer, non-governmental organization. The Bolton Conservation Trust depends on membership support, both monetary and volunteering, to succeed in its mission. Please JOIN US!

Our work complements that of the Bolton Conservation Commission. In comparison, the Commission is a Town board, appointed by the Board of Selectmen and tasked with regulatory functions – including administering the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MGL Ch. 131.s 40) and the Bolton Wetland Law 1.18 – and the maintenance of Town-owned conservation land.
