Valley Community Land Trust
Colrain, MA
Since 1977, when Valley Community Land Trust was incorporated, we have acquired through donations and purchase, over 200 acres of land in Franklin County, MA. This land has provided homes for more than 50 people and provided a base for agriculture, forestry and various cottage industries. Our nearly irreversible ownership of the land makes it accessible for generations to come and insulates it from market pressures. In addition, the VCLT’s leases are structured to maintain reasonable resale values for our lessees’ homes.
