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 owns more than 70 properties, totaling over 500 acres and holds easements on 52 properties protecting an additional 1700 acres.

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.
