Reading Open Land Trust is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year! WIth over 70 acres of land under its care, spanning 11 properties in Reading, ROLT safeguards these precious spaces, ensuring their preservation. It has become part of the fabric of our local community, collaborating with various groups across town to promote the long-term health of our open lands.

We hope you might honor this milestone year with a contribution. A gift of any size will help to offset the costs of maintaining these properties and, potentially, allowing ROLT to purchase new spaces for protection when donation isn't possible.

To make a gift, please visit:

The Reading Open Land Trust, Inc. (ROLT) was founded in 1979 by a group of private citizens motivated by the conviction that conservation of our natural resources must be a concern for all citizens and not solely dependent on government action and tax revenues.
