Lowell Parks and Conservation Trust

LP&CT was founded in 1990 by residents with a vision to protect the natural resources upon which the city of Lowell was built. LP&CT provides conservation leadership and programs which focus on four major areas: land protection, stewardship, environmental education, and special places. Since 1995, we have planted thousands of trees throughout Lowell in partnership with the city and a variety of other agencies. We’re excited that GGCP will provide the resources we need to engage residents to help us dramatically increase our impact on Lowell’s urban canopy.
