About Us

The Truro Conservation Trust (TCT) is a leader in creating public-private land conservation partnerships that sustain Truro as a livable, vibrant community for current and future generations.

Our mission is to help preserve the rural character of the Town of Truro outside of the Cape Cod National Seashore.  This mission is accomplished by acquiring undeveloped land through donation or purchase.

The TCT has 317 acres protected by ownership or conservation restriction.  Learn more about our property holding >>

TCT 30th Anniversary Celebration

We celebrated 30 years of land conservation in Truro on August 7th.  Over 80 people from land trusts across Cape Cod gathered at the Highland House Museum.  The Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts co-hosted the event and conducted its annual meeting.  As a part of that meeting, the Ansel B. Chaplin Award for Open Space Excellence was presented to Andy Young of the Chatham Conservation Foundation.
