ACT leads and inspires private, voluntary action to conserve land the North Country loves.

Mission 

The Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust (ACT) works with landowners and community partners to permanently protect land in New Hampshire's North Country for public benefit. ACT preserves farms, wild and working forests, waterways, places of natural, cultural, and recreational importance. We help build healthy communities by creating opportunities for meaningful connections to the natural world and to each other.

Values

• The Land and its Uses. We respect the natural beauty, history, and traditional uses of our lands as regionally and nationally significant resources to be protected for future generations. We do not regard land protection as an end in itself; rather, conservation is a tool for building and ensuring community and individual well-being, economic vitality, and a healthy environment.

• Our Operating Principles. First, we listen. We facilitate approaches to land conservation with integrity, honesty, practicality, and humor!

• Our Performance. We value integrity and excellence in our work and collaborate with others to achieve our mission. As part of our accreditation, we abide by the Land Trust Alliance Standards and Practices.

• Our Extended Obligations. We believe local actions with regard to the land and its use have an impact beyond our region and time. We work to ensure public awareness of best practices of environmental stewardship and protection of our inheritance for future generations.
