This summer, come join the Wareham Land Trust (WLT) for an educational series of walks and talks focusing on insects!  Programs are designed for all ages.

Outdoor programs are FREE for WLT members and just $5 for non-members (cash or check at the time of the event).  Not a WLT member?  You can join at the events and become part of an amazing community of like-minded nature lovers!

WLT membership helps us protect, grow and maintain the incredible natural resources in our community backyard (explore the trail maps on our website!), gets you the monthly WLT eNewsletter ensuring awareness of our programs & events, and an invitation to the annual WLT meeting (for a chance to meet your fellow WLT members!). The WLT is primarily a volunteer organization with our boards and committees populated by engaged volunteers from membership.  The Wareham Land Trust is truly our membership!
