You Make a Lasting, Local Difference with HCT

Harwich with its sandy beaches, salty air, and welcoming beauty is a fragile place. We walk, bike, swim, and enjoy the outdoors in a setting that offers diverse natural habitats, a variety of wildlife, and scenic lands to discover.

But our quality of life is at risk from too much development. Harwich Conservation Trust (HCT) is dedicated to saving land as a smart, practical, and necessary endeavor for everyone who cherishes this special corner of the Cape.

By preserving land and restoring habitats with sound stewardship, together we create opportunities to explore the natural world around us.

Make a lasting local difference for land, water, wildlife, friends, and family
