One of the things that makes Jefferson Land Trust thrive is the people behind it: supporters who care deeply about this community and the lands that surround us. Many have spent years walking local trails, volunteering, visiting protected farms, and watching conserved land regenerate and thrive over time.

Planning ahead can be a natural extension of that care. Creating a will brings clarity and peace of mind for your loved ones, while offering an opportunity to reflect on what you hope your legacy will be.

Many of our most significant conservation successes have been made possible by supporters who chose to look beyond their own lifetimes. Their vision reminds us that conservation is, at its heart, an act of hope and a gift to the future.

To make the process easier, Jefferson Land Trust offers access to FreeWill, a secure online tool that helps you create or update your will at your own pace and at no cost. A growing number of supporters are choosing to include the Land Trust in their plans. Future gifts of any size help ensure the lands you care about remain protected for generations to come.

Thank you for the many ways you already care for this land — and for considering how that care might carry forward into the future.

If you’ve already included the Land Trust in your estate plans, please let us know — we’d love to thank you personally and welcome you into our new Land and Legacy Circle!
