Orange CT Land Trust

The Orange Land Trust (OLT) is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit, Connecticut Corporation, staffed entirely by volunteers. We are an independent non-governmental entity. OLT was organized and incorporated in December of 1968. Our purpose is the acquisition, preservation, and protection of natural areas, including plants and wildlife and the unique habitats they require, within the Town of Orange, for the benefit of its citizens through passive use. We conduct guided walks, hikes, and events for the public in our parcels throughout the year.

The funds of the Orange Land Trust are the result of bequests, donations from interested individuals and organizations, and annual memberships. Please see our Membership page for additional information. If you would like to donate land, or make another type of gift, to the trust, click here for contact information. We volunteer our time and talents because we are committed to the organization’s goals and to the area we love and care for. Because we are all volunteers, we keep our operating expenses to a minimum necessary to achieve our mission.
