To encourage the responsible use of the land and protection of our natural and cultural history by providing the opportunity to interact with the environment through education, research and environmentally sensitive recreation.
The Equinox Preservation Trust consists of over 914 acres on the slopes of Mount Equinox in Manchester, Vermont. In 1996, owners of the Equinox Resort donated conservation easements to the Vermont
Land Trust and the Nature Conservancy to
permanently protect this land. The Equinox
Resort owns the preserve, which is managed
by the Vermont Institute of Natural Science,
the Equinox Preservation Trust board
of directors and the Equinox Resort
staff. It is open to the public year-round
for non-motorized recreation.
