Martha’s Vineyard is blessed with some of the Earth’s most uncommon, and ecologically significant, landscapes.
From rare heathlands to woodlands, farm fields to footpaths, the Vineyard Conservation Society has protected the diverse habitats and scenic beauty of Martha’s Vineyard for nearly sixty years.
How We Work
Unlike our land trust colleagues, VCS owns very little land outright. Instead, we view our role in land conservation on Martha’s Vineyard as that of facilitator: providing legal defense, securing permanent protection of open space through the creation of conservation restrictions, or helping “position” a property for purchase by a land trust or public agency through legal advocacy, public outreach, and fundraising.
