Our Mission
“The mission of the Lake Claire Community Land Trust is to acquire, maintain, and protect green space for neighborhood enhancement and education; and to provide a place for neighbors and friends to celebrate nature, community, and the arts.”
come visit the land trust!
The Lake Claire Community Land Trust is a neighborhood-based nonprofit dedicated to preserving greenspace and fostering community. Our 1.7 acres includes over 50 community garden beds, a playground, a stage and amphitheater, a sauna, a pond, a Children’s Garden, and a sanctuary for neighborhood celebrity Big Lou the Emu. People gather for festivals, drum circles, community work days, children’s birthday parties, and more. Several different communities of Land Trust lovers cross paths here for a rich cross-pollination of cultures. Every neighborhood needs a Land Trust!
The Land Trust is open during daylight hours. Please observe the closing time posted at all three entrances. The Land Trust closes at 8:00 p.m. during the spring and summer months.
Non-EVENTS and un-happenings
To help slow the spread of COVID-19, all public gatherings at the Land Trust have been canceled or postponed. Canceled events include drum circles, work days, and all children's birthday parties. These events are all as fabulous as ever, even though they will not be happening. Thanks for your cooperation.
We will continue to monitor the pandemic and keep you updated.
The Land Trust is open as always during daylight hours, but please maintain the recommended "physical distance" of 6 feet from others. The playground is closed. Note that our closing time has now been updated to 8:00 pm with the advent of Spring.
Get Involved
The Land Trust was created entirely by volunteers. Everyone who enjoys the Land Trust is invited to take part in this labor of love, from picking up litter to serving on a committee or the Board of Directors. Join us for a Community Work Day on the third Saturday of every month. You’ll have more fun if you pitch in and help!
A new way for to get involved with the Land Trust—adopt a particular area of the Land Trust to maintain. This would mainly include weeding, but also taking on any projects you en- vision to improve your chosen area, or any need- ed repairs, in coordination with the Land Trust Grounds Committee. Your area could be large or small, as long as it has definite boundaries. This could be a great way to spend family time or time with close neighbors, with a picnic afterwards. Re- member, y’all—it takes a village! Help keep your Land Trust beautiful.
