Conservation, recreation and agriculture for the benefit of the public in perpetuity
The Nantucket Land Bank was created by a 466-to-1 vote of annual Town meeting
in 1983. Since inception, as the first of its kind in the nation, it has served as a model
for other communities across the country. For over 30 years, we have worked to
acquire, hold and manage key open spaces, provide waterfront access, preserve
scenic views, protect ecological resources, promote local agriculture and create
outdoor recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
Conservation
The Land Bank ensures that rare and endangered species that are present on our properties thrive through adaptive management of early successional ecosystems.
Recreation
Along with conserving open space, the Land Bank provides additional active outdoor recreational opportunities for residents and visitors.
Agriculture
From protecting pastoral landscapes to providing additional acreage for cultivation, the Land Bank helps support local farmers and food production in the Nantucket community.
