Welcome to the website of the Ashby Land Trust of Ashby, Massachusetts. We are an accredited Land Trust and a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to preserving the rural character of Ashby. In addition to our land preservation efforts, we sponsor educational, recreational, and social events and activities that celebrate the natural world. We invite you to review the pages and drop-down menus provided above to find out more about the Ashby Land Trust, and hope that you will join us!

Join us on Sunday, February 8 from 9am-12pm for an animal tracking class with Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival at Jewell Hill Reservation here in Ashby! We have held this class for the last few years, and it is always a great time! Please plan to meet at the parking area at the top of Crocker Rd a few minutes before 9am so we can get started on time. Please dress warmly and in layers, wear either snow boots or hiking boots, and bring water and a snack. This is a free event, but registration is required. To register, please contact us on Facebook or email us at info@ashbylandtrust.org . Donations are always welcome and appreciated and allow us to continue to offer educational programs to the community. Hope to see you there! 

In July 2025 the Town of Ashby took ownership of the 106-acre Jones Hill Connector parcel, which was purchased with funding obtained through a Forest Legacy Program (FLP) application prepared by the Ashby Land Trust. A deed restriction limits the use of the property to forestry and conservation.
