Joshua's Trust is one of the oldest local conservation and historic trusts in the State of Connecticut. A non-profit organization, the Trust is designed to supplement the open space efforts of federal, state, and local governments by receiving gifts of land, conservation easements, and money. It may also purchase tracts of land that it considers especially important to preserve.
Joshua's Trust now owns, or protects by easement, more than 3,000 acres of land preserved for the benefit of future generations, making the trust the fourth largest land trust in Connecticut.
The Trust is named for Joshua, son of Uncas, Mohegan Sachem, who in 1676 bequeathed his hunting grounds in the heart of eastern Connecticut to 16 men of Norwich. The Trust serves an area roughly conterminous with the Windham Region.
