Northeast Wilderness Trust protects wild landscapes across New York and New England. Using the best available science, we focus on regions with expansive, connected habitats and high levels of biodiversity. Over time, these ecosystems will be most resilient to change as the climate warms and weather patterns become more erratic. We safeguard these forever-wild places using one of two approaches: ownership or legal protection.
On the lands we conserve as forever-wild, nature calls the shots. People are visitors who come to experience solitude, wildlife, and beauty, with reverence and care for the land’s integrity. All properties owned by Northeast Wilderness Trust, profiled below, are open to the public for quiet, slow recreation. On Ambassador Preserves, you will find trails to explore and experience a wild forest. Most other properties welcome you to explore off-trail. The map above illustrates all lands protected by the Wilderness Trust, including through conservation restrictions, in addition to places we are currently working to preserve.
