Nashoba Conservation Trust (NCT) is a non-profit land trust dedicated to protecting biodiversity, conserving natural resources, supporting agriculture, and providing recreational opportunities for the public. Since 1969, NCT has directly acquired and permanently protected over 400 acres of land and helped protect much of the conservation land owned by the Town of Pepperell and by Massachusetts Fish & Game.

Our protected open spaces - the fields, forests, rivers, streams and ponds - help safeguard our community water supply, and provide habitat for diverse animal and plant species. Our protected farmland helps support local producers while maintaining a sustainable food supply for the public. 

Working with the Pepperell Conservation Commission, we created an extensive trail system providing residents and visitors with places to walk, cycle, fish, hunt, and simply enjoy the outdoors.
