EHLT history:

East Haddam Land Trust is a volunteer, non-profit, member-based corporation that incorporated in 1979. We are one of the region's very first land trusts, founded by a group of East Haddam residents who cared about preserving the town's natural resources. Many EHLT founders remain active in land trust activities and help nurture relationships with local landowners interested in maintaining and protecting land in a natural state. Members  mostly come from East Haddam but also include people from neighboring towns, far-flung locations around the country, and former- or non-residents who feel a bond with East Haddam and EHLT's mission.
