The Lyme Land Conservation Trust (LLCT) is a non-profit organization founded in 1966, dedicated to helping to conserve Lyme’s natural, scenic and historic land and water resources. We acquire and manage properties; support open space acquisition; promote scientific study of natural resources; and educate the public, thus helping preserve the quality of life. We often partner with the town of Lyme and other conservation groups in this mission.

The Trust oversees a total of 2658 acres. It owns 30 properties, and maintains easements on another 57. The Land Trust also monitors the 235 acre Pleasant Valley Preserve under agreement with the Nature Conservancy.

The LLCT is an all-volunteer organization, from our board of directors to our trail stewards. One of the smallest towns in Connecticut, Lyme has proportionally one of the largest land trust memberships in the United States.
