Northeast Wilderness Trust

The Northeast Wilderness Trust is a non-profit conservation organization based in Montpelier, Vermont working to preserve and restore forest landscapes in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

The Northeast Wilderness Trust works with landowners and partners to restore and preserve forest landscapes through conservation easements, land acquisition, donations, and other conservation methods. Its land protection priorities are based on conservation science, wilderness potential, threat abatement, and opportunity.[1]

NWT projects include the Howland Forest, Wapack Wilderness, Split Rock Wildway, and Hersey Mountain in New Hampshire.

In February 2020, the organization purchased 50 acres of land connected to the Binney Hill Wilderness Preserve which includes the Binney Pond shoreline.[2]
