For Now & Forever:
A Campaign to Protect Barnstable’s Land & Legacy
You’re invited to join Barnstable Land Trust in the largest initiative in the organization’s 40+ year history – the For Now & Forever Campaign to conserve open space, protect water quality, and steward Cape Cod’s most treasured landscapes for generations to come.
Protect What You Love—For Now & Forever
Why This Matters
Why We Must Act—Now
Cape Cod’s natural beauty—its beaches, woodlands, wetlands, and trails—draws us in and restores our spirits. But with only 14% of land left to protect, we are at a critical moment. Habitat fragmentation, water pollution, and climate change threaten the Cape we love.
Our Vision
For Now & Forever
BLT envisions a future where Cape Cod’s golden light, clean air, and open spaces continue to inspire awe—for all, forever. With your help, we’ll protect vital habitats, preserve clean water, and offer places for generations to connect with nature.
Campaign Priorities
The For Now & Forever Campaign will secure more than 60 acres for permanent conservation, build an endowment for the future, and increase investment in land stewardship efforts.
Immediate Land Acquisition
We are securing five critical properties across Barnstable for conservation and public enjoyment. Explore the Properties.
The Barnstable Forever Fund
A permanent endowment to support future land protection and stewardship—ensuring action when land becomes available.
Land Stewardship Investment
Funds for tools, equipment, trail building, and restoration work—growing our capacity to care for what we protect.
