CHPT and the Town of Charlton are the proud recipients of a Green Valley Institute 2008 Green Neighbor Award! The award was presented at The Last Green Valley Quinebaug-Shetucket Heritage Corridor, Inc.’s annual meeting Friday, May 30th. The 2008 Green Neighbor Award was presented to the Charlton Heritage Preservation Trust and The Town of Charlton “For coming together to build a strong working relationship that has resulted in the recent preservation of 142 acres of open space set aside in flexible subdivisions; and for forging other partnerships for trail creation, maintenance, and stewardship, and for helping to keep the Last Green Valley green.”

Charlton Heritage Preservation Trust (CHPT) was formed to protect the natural beauties and rural character within the town of Charlton, Massachusetts. In order to achieve these broad goals, the CHPT will work to educate the public on the value of open space, the wise use of natural resources, and the advantages and principles of land use planning. The Charlton Heritage Preservation Trust also seeks to protect, conserve, and preserve lands and waters in Charlton, namely, rivers, streams, wetlands, wildlife habitat, agricultural land, historical sites, ecologically significant regions as well as other scenic, natural and productive areas. In order to further these conservational, historical, educational and scientific objectives, the CHPT will seek to acquire by donation or direct purchase real and personal property in the town of Charlton. CHPT can accept assignation of a town's right of first refusal for properties under M.G.L. Chapter 61.
