information:
The Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust (DNRT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit,
membership-supported land trust established in 1971. It has 3 full-time
staff and over 800 members. Its annual operating budget is around
$340,000. Its mission is "to preserve and protect Dartmouth's natural
resources for people and nature, forever." It accomplishes its mission by:
• identifying and preserving important natural areas, farmlands,
wetlands, and wildlife habitats in Dartmouth by purchasing or accepting
donations of land and conservation restrictions;
• protecting its lands and conservation restrictions through good
stewardship practices;
• encouraging public access on land it owns (just over 1,500 acres);
• collaborating with other organizations to accomplish its goals; and
• educating and engaging the community to ensure the long-term support
for natural resource conservation and stewardship.
