Conserving the Alford landscape
The Alford Land Trust is a nonprofit member organization founded in 2003 by community residents to protect significant natural, agricultural, and scenic resources; and to promote and encourage land stewardship for the benefit of the environment, the economy, and future generations. Our Trust helps preserve Alford’s natural beauty and agrarian character by managing protected land and educating the community about land stewardship. We hope to increase awareness of the connection between land use decisions and quality of life in our region.
