About The Organization:

The Trustees is an organization with a fascinating past and an exciting future. Our places are open to all and we thrive by involving as many people as possible in what we do. Founded in 1891, by a group of visionary volunteers, we preserve, for public use and enjoyment, properties of exceptional scenic, historic, and ecological value in Massachusetts and work to protect special places across the state. We have helped protect more than 50,000 acres, including 25,000+ acres on more than 100 reservations that are all open to the public. We are a nonprofit conservation organization funded and supported entirely by our visitors, supporters, volunteers, and more than 40,000 members.

The Marketing department plays a key role in helping to shape and grow the overall public identity of our organization by increasing visibility, visitation, and public engagement in our historic and cultural sites, landscaped gardens, lodgings and enterprises. This is an exciting time in our organization’s nearly 125-year history as we look to move the four pillars of our bold Strategic Plan forward and better steward and protect our portfolio of stunning properties and their cultural and natural resources, excite current and new audiences in our work using our properties and programs as a platform, and grow our organizational mission and impact.
