BLT acquires deeded ownership of land through outright
gift, "bargain sale" (purchases below market value), or neighborhood-driven
fundraising and purchase.
BLT also provides technical assistance to Barnstable neighbors
who identify parcels for preservation in our community, to land
owners who wish to consider land preservation options, to Town
boards and committees on open space issues, and to developers
and realtors who wish information about setting aside land as
open space.
BLT is the steward of over 500 acres of land under our protection.
We also provide educational and volunteer opportunities for our growing
membership.
