Resource Library

Developed through a collaboration between Aspetuck Land Trust and Yale School of the Environment, this toolkit offers land trusts concrete tools and inspiring models to advance land justice—from cultural easements to Buy-Protect-Sell strategies. It explores how land trusts can support equitable access to land, especially for BIPOC and other historically marginalized communities, while fulfilling their conservation missions. Rich with examples, definitions, and actionable frameworks, it’s a must-read for any land trust aiming to align conservation with equity and community well-being.
