Becket Land Trust – Becket, MA

Becket Quarry-by Diane Cote

The Becket Land Trust was founded in 1991 by a group of concerned citizens who were interested in maintaining the rural nature of the Town of Becket and of preserving its natural resources and ecologically sensitive areas.

The Land Trust is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization which owns and operates the Historic Becket Quarry and Forest, which was the result of an extraordinary community fund-raising campaign to save a 300+ acre parcel of primarily wooded land from industrial development. To prevent detrimental impact on the site and the community, local citizens donated money to enable the Becket Land Trust to purchase the property and open the site to the public for recreational enjoyment.

We invite you to visit the quarry and hike the trails.
