Welcome to the Cumberland Land Trust Our 35th year!
The Cumberland Land Trust is a private, non-profit, charitable, conservation organization run by a dedicated group of volunteers. Our mission is to preserve the natural resources of Cumberland for present and future generations by preserving land for open space.
Since incorporation in 1989, we have protected 641 acres
of land acquired through purchase, donation and conservation easements.
The Land Trust applies for grants from private foundations and organizations and from government sources to help acquire select properties including streams, ponds, wetlands, open space, working farms, scenic and natural sites and historically significant properties.
The Cumberland Land Trust is a sponsor of The Land Trust Alliance, a national organization of land trusts, and works closely with The Nature Conservancy of RI, *The Rhode Island Land Trust Council, the RI Audubon Society, and the 43 other land trusts in the state.
