The Wolcott Land Conservation Trust has preserved several parcels of land throughout Wolcott, Connecticut. We’re proud to say that these places will be forever protected as open space, remaining invaluable aesthetic and economic boons to the entire community.
But with your help and generosity, we can protect even more of Wolcott’s natural places before they are lost. A donation of land is among the most enduring contributions that can be made towards the future of Wolcott. Such a gift not only protects natural beauty and wildlife habitat throughout the town, but also contributes to recreation opportunities and can even have economic benefits.
As Wolcott forges forward into the future, there will undoubtedly be many changes: people will change, politics will change and economy will change. But as it too often happens, when open space is developed it is likely lost forever. When you donate your land to the Wolcott Land Conservation Trust, you can know that you’ve made a permanent and lasting mark upon Wolcott’s landscape that will remain into perpetuity. In addition, donated land, easements and bargain-sales can oftentimes provide important tax benefits to donors. The Wolcott Land Conservation Trust is dedicated to helping you navigate your options and find the best way to preserve or conserve your land.
Remember: when you donate land in the name of preservation, you make a powerful and lasting statement about the importance of nature in Wolcott’s future… for wildlife, community aesthetics, recreation and economy.
If the values of the Wolcott Land Conservation Trust resonate with your own, and if you are interested in contributing your land to a perpetual legacy of open space in Wolcott, then we urge you contact us and learn more about making a donation. Please contact WLCT President, Christine Parsons, by email. Alternatively, our mailing address is: PO Box 6004, Wolcott, CT 06716.
