About the Conservancy
Organized in 1986, The Colebrook Land Conservancy, Inc. is a non-profit
501(c)3 organization run entirely by volunteers. The goal of the Conservancy is to preserve Colebrook's natural resources, including land and water resources, plant and animal life, and unique scenic, natural and historic sites. We're involved in the protection of over 1,200 acres in town.
