Chester is blessed with fresh water streams, tidelands, natural and man-made lakes, and state, town and water company forests. Once a thriving mill town with access to the majestic waterway of the Connecticut River, its economic base has changed, but its environment remains surprisingly unspoiled. The Chester Land Trust wants to keep it that way. The open spaces are limited. They need preservation and judicious protection. Existing biological diversity and natural habitats are finite, and if destroyed, are irreplaceable.
We are stewards of twelve Chester properties including the creation and maintenance of the Scudder and Carini Preserves and the establishment of our newest charge, the Bob Rayner & Family Land Preserve. The Land Trust acquires open space by either gift or purchase in order to promote our environment and the character of our town. It is through these efforts that we can provide to our community the recreational and educational opportunities to today's citizens as well as those to come.
As well as managing various tracts of undeveloped land in town, the Land Trust promotes and sponsors educational programs and other activities, including our annual newsletter and Chester Land Trust Fair.
