PROTECT THE PLACES PEOPLE LOVE We save the iconic and the most exceptional places in Massachusetts. That hasn’t changed in more than 126 years. Today, this work requires thinking beyond our traditional avenues and leveraging new partnerships and geographies. To complement our ongoing commitment to saving places of regional significance, we will mount one of our most audacious efforts to date to create iconic open space on Boston’s waterfront. In “Protecting the Places People Love,” we go beyond the focus of acquisition of reservations to a goal that encompasses the whole journey of our landscapes—from the time they come into The Trustees’ portfolio of places to ensuring the best possible care in perpetuity, while planning for changing interests and environment. Over the next five years, we will save and share our incredible places statewide to create the healthiest, most spectacular array of reservations, where our resources thrive and our public can engage.
