Promoting Peace & Justice
for Over 50 Years
Peace & Nature
The Voluntown Peace Trust is a 54-acre community land trust in beautiful Voluntown, Connecticut. We have outdoor sculptures, wooded walking trails, a labyrinth, a campfire pit, and much more to discover. Voluntown is a quiet rural town, 70% of which is Pachaug State Forest, Connecticut’s largest state forest. The public beach at Beach Pond is within walking distance, and the boat launch is less than a 5 minute drive away.
Workshops & Events
We offer several community events, celebrations, and workshops throughout the year. Contact us to schedule a workshop or event for your organization. You can also join our mailing list to learn when public workshops and community events are scheduled.
