Members

A vital element of the organization, Members make a meaningful impact and play a significant role in safeguarding and enhancing Wilton’s natural, scenic, cultural, and historical landscapes. More than 200 Members contribute to our mission of protecting, preserving, and improving Wilton’s open space. Gifts of $100 or more include an annual membership. Members are invited to vote at our Annual Meeting and receive invitations to special events.

Volunteers

Volunteers play a vital role at the Wilton Land Trust, helping to care for our preserves, restore habitats, and support community programs. From maintaining trails and managing meadows to assisting with events and education, volunteers strengthen our mission and deepen the community’s connection to nature.

Board of Trustees

Our volunteer Board of Trustees ensures the financial health and resources needed to further WLT’s mission. Working closely with the Executive Director, they steer the WLT toward a sustainable and impactful future.

Staff

The Executive Director drives our mission forward by providing strategic leadership, overseeing operations, fostering community relationships, and ensuring financial stability.

Students and Interns

We offer hands-on opportunities for students through youth volunteer programs and college internships. Each summer, student volunteers and college interns contribute meaningfully to our mission by supporting conservation projects, land management, and community events in a collaborative outdoor setting. These experiences deepen Wilton’s young adults’ understanding of ecology and stewardship while helping them develop practical skills—whether organizing workshops, leading restoration projects, or exploring a personal passion within conservation. Participants leave with valuable experience and confidence to support their future academic and career paths.
