Information for Landowners

If you own land that you feel may have important conservation features, whether it be farmland, woodland, saltmarsh, or some combination, anywhere in Essex County, we invite you to contact us. We would be very pleased to discuss the full range of land conservation options with you. Please contact Ed Becker, Executive Director, or David Santomenna, Director of Land Conservation.

Information for Municipalities, Agencies, and Land Conservation Organizations

Greenbelt's conservation project assistance takes many forms, from technical advice, assistance with landowner negotiations, joint cultivation of land conservation projects, to small grants which may cover project costs, due diligence, or even a portion of the purchase price of an important conservation parcel. If your town, city, land trust or agency is working on a land conservation project, and you think that Greenbelt could help, please get in touch with us. Contact Ed Becker or David Santomenna.
