support BLT

BLT acquires deeded ownership of land through outright gift, "bargain sale" (purchases below market value), or neighborhood-driven fundraising and purchase.

BLT also provides technical assistance to Barnstable neighbors who identify parcels for preservation in our community, to land owners who wish to consider land preservation options, to Town boards and committees on open space issues, and to developers and realtors who wish information about setting aside land as open space.

BLT is the steward of over 500 acres of land under our protection. We also provide educational and volunteer opportunities for our growing membership.
