The Walden Woods Project is a nonprofit based in Lincoln, Massachusetts, dedicated to preserving the land, literature, and legacy of Henry David Thoreau. It advances its mission through an integrated program of conservation, education, research, and advocacy, leveraging the protected Walden Woods to promote environmental stewardship and social responsibility. The organization was founded by recording artist Don Henley.

Conservation efforts focus on safeguarding the landscapes of Walden Woods and Thoreau Country, recognized for their literary, historical, and environmental significance. Educational programs built on Thoreau's philosophy and the sites' historic resources aim to foster environmental literacy and civic responsibility among students, educators, and lifelong learners. The project maintains archives for researchers and educators and advocates for preservation of Walden Woods, Thoreau Country, and the broader environment, with a notable 2023 appointment of Helen Bowdoin to design and direct its educational programming.
