Non-profit land conservation and stewardship organization
The Nantucket Conservation Foundation preserves Nantucket’s natural environments by acquiring and managing land. It owns over 9,000 acres—about one-third of the island—making these areas available for public enjoyment, passive recreation, and scientific study, and it funds its work through donations, memberships, and grants. The foundation secures land through donations or purchases and then maintains habitats, conducts ecological research, supports education, and operates the Milestone Cranberry Bog, with plans for the Milestone Center to expand research and education. Its approach combines being the island’s largest landowner with hands-on ecological research and broad public access, including living laboratories and preservation of traditional sites, to actively protect Nantucket’s ecosystems for future generations.
