Welcome to Joshua's Trust!

Joshua’s Tract Conservation and Historic Trust, Inc. is a nonprofit and largely volunteer regional conservation organization protecting more than 5,000 acres in Northeastern Connecticut. Some properties are owned by the Trust and others are protected by conservation easements, methods that assure that those lands will remain open space and protected from development, forever.
Joshua’s Trust works in a region that includes parts of Windham, Tolland, and New London counties. We maintain 42 miles of walking trails for the public to appreciate and enjoy. In addition to the land we protect, we maintain two sites of historic significance: the Gurleyville Grist Mill and Atwood Farm, our headquarters, both located in Mansfield Center.
Please explore our properties, learn more about us and what we do, and find out how to get involved! We hope to see you out on the trails soon!
