The Hopkinton Area Land Trust (HALT) is a non-profit conservation organization directly involved in helping to protect natural, scenic, recreational, agricultural, historic and cultural property.

The Land Trust was established in response to the many growing issues that are facing our rural town and surrounding areas. We seek to give landowners a conservation option when they are making decisions on the use of their land. Our growing community is facing the many pressures that development brings, and to keep the balance we see the need to preserve open land and natural resources in order to keep the rural character that makes the Hopkinton area so attractive to all of us. As a private non-profit organization outside the realm of politics, The Land Trust can assume leadership in wise land management and flexibility in dealing with the specific desires of land donors.
