What they do
Sudbury Valley Trustees (SVT) is a regional land trust founded in 1953, protecting the Sudbury, Assabet, and Concord (SuAsCo) river watersheds — about 36 towns west of Boston, in the agricultural belt that includes Sudbury, Wayland, Concord, Lincoln, Stow, Bolton, and the surrounding region. SVT holds conservation easements on thousands of acres of farmland, forest, and wetland, including portions of the land [[siena-farms-south-end]] farms. Beyond easement-holding: trail systems, ecological-restoration projects, school partnerships, advocacy on watershed and land-use issues.
Why it’s listed
Every farm in the bioregion’s western-suburbs ring depends on an institution like SVT having held the easement line for decades. [[directory|The directory]] cares because land-trust work is upstream of every [[farm-to-table|farm-to-table]] listing the bioregion contains — the food economy can only function on land the developer didn’t get to first.
Bioregional fit
SVT covers the western-suburbs half of [[greater-boston]] — the same SuAsCo watershed corridor that contains [[siena-farms-south-end]], [[lands-sake]], and most of the Boston-area farm-and-CSA economy.
