JL he Trustees of Reservations (TTOR) is the world's oldest land trust. Founded in 1891 by
Boston landscape architect Charles Eliot, it is dedicated to preserving for public use and enjoy- ment properties of exceptional scenic, historic and ecological value throughout the Commonwealth. Today, The Trustees of Reservations owns and manages 73 properties, totaling more than 18,000 acres, all open to the public. Through its Land Conservation Center, TTOR continues to save open land across the state. The Trustees of Reservations is a private, non- profit organization with over 10,000 members. It relies for support entirely upon membership dues, voluntary contributions, admission fees, grants and endowments. Frederic Winthrop, Jr.

20 A Legacy for Tomorrow
SnceUsfoundingin^.TheTrusteeso, Reservations has benefited greatly from the generosity of its supporters. By giving generously of their time and financial resources, they have made TTOR a strong and effective organization. Donors also have provided for The Trustees in their estate plans. The first bequest to The Trustees came in 1902 from Joseph B. Glover, a public- spirited Bostonian. His bequest set an example that has been followed by many. These gifts have played a critical role in supporting the efforts of TTOR to preserve special places of scenic, historic and ecological significance. You, too, may wish to provide such support. There are many forms of bequests that will meet the personal requirements and wishes of the donor while contributing to the work of The Trustees. The wording may be as simple as:
"I give, devise and bequeath to The Trustees of Reservations of Beverly, Massachusetts the sum of ."
In addition to bequests, there are many planned giving opportunities that can provide the Chesterfield Gorge, West Chesterfield donor with current tax benefits, enhance retirement income, or provide for children's and grandchildren's futures while also providing support for The Trustees.
