WHAT GUIDES US?

The Need

In an era of rapidly declining species, habitat loss, threats to biodiversity, major storm events, frequent flooding, food insecurity, population growth, and increased housing development, the need for conservation has never been more urgent. Conserved lands and open space provide climate resilience, protect vulnerable habitats and species, support ecological integrity, and foster community connection.

Mission

WCT’s mission is to preserve and manage the open land, rural character, scenic, recreational, historic, agricultural, and natural resources of the Willistown area and nearby communities, and to share these unique resources with people of all ages and backgrounds to inspire, educate, and develop a lifelong commitment to the land and the natural world.

Vision

SAVE | We envision a community where nature thrives and people are connected with and inspired to care for the land, water, and wildlife for generations to come.

STUDY | We strive to foster knowledge and responsibility for the lands we occupy.

SHARE | We seek to share the joy and endless opportunities the natural world generously offers with all who wish to engage and to make nature a comfortable and welcoming refuge for all.
