Join our community so together we can preserve open space for future generations. We have several membership options.Endow Open Space Forever
Contribute to the future of permanent open space by donating to our new Nichols Endowment Fund. 94 acres of beautiful meadows, pathways, ponds, and woods, is open to the public for walking, cross-country skiing, horseback riding or leashed dog walking. Please ask your tax advisor about a stock transfer. (Be sure to note ‘Nichols Endowment’ when donating).Attend Show Luncheon
Buy your tickets early, as our elegant tented luncheon & silent auction, served ringside to the June show, gets sold out faster every year.Support Conservation

Participate in one of our trail riding events. We invite you to ride with your friends along the many miles of trails we work year-round to maintain.Help Maintain Trails
Our full-time trail manager also helps keep trails clear on other conservation land properties like the Audubon, Land Trust, Boys & Girls Club, and some Town parks.Put on Your Gloves
Bring your garden tools and come join us on Trail Clean Up Day. We tackle invasives, trim bushes, remove trash and picnic at our own Nichols Nature Preserve.Sponsor a Stone Wall
