Founded in 1989, the Burlington Land Trust (BLT) is a non-profit organization dedicated to acquiring, preserving, and protecting scenic, natural, and historic lands for future generations. Despite its vital mission, the organization faced significant challenges in:
Raising awareness about its efforts and accomplishments.
Expanding its reach and connecting with younger generations.
Updating its digital presence, including an outdated website and limited social media activity.
To remain relevant and effectively engage the community, the BLT needed a revitalized approach to branding and outreach.

Seasonal campaigns like CT Trails Day has seen event participation grow by over 280%, with signups filling so quickly that registration had to close early.
The Land Trust continues to attract younger audiences, new volunteers, and build stronger community partnerships, positioning them for ongoing growth while honoring their conservation legacy.

From KarenThe Burlington Land Trust hired Caitlyn to lead a 21st-century update of our brand and website. She listened carefully to our ideas, demonstrating a collaborative and insightful approach that made her incredibly easy to work with. Caitlyn didn’t just refresh our site; she created a cohesive brand identity—graphics, fonts, and a voice that finally appeals to a younger, more diverse audience. Since she took over our social media strategy, we’ve seen a massive shift: increased visibility, new interest from neighboring towns, and collaboration opportunities with other land trusts. Her expertise in strategic communication and digital outreach is truly impressive.
