The mission of the Francestown Land Trust is to help preserve natural land areas significant to Francestown and to provide conservation opportunities and education for area residents.
History
Founded in 1986, the Francestown Land Trust (FLT) is dedicated to protecting critical natural land areas in Francestown, New Hampshire, and nearby environs. A registered 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, FLT can hold and monitor conservation easements, help negotiate land transfers, and, with public support, purchase sensitive properties.
Currently, the organization owns properties totaling 1,259 acres, including the Rand Brook Forest and Schott Brennan Falls Reserve. All land owned by FLT is open for public use. In addition, FLT holds conservation easements on 35 privately owned properties, helping to protect an additional 1,812 acres. With one Executory Interest, FLT helps to protect a total area of 3,096 acres.

Board members, current and past, have received the prestigious Gordon A. Russell Award, given annually by the Piscataquog Land Conservancy, for leadership and unusual achievements in conservation. Board members, current and past, have also been honored with the Tudor Richards Award from New Hampshire Audubon
