The Andover Village Improvement Society (AVIS) is a private land trust in Andover, Massachusetts. Founded in 1894, AVIS is the second oldest land preservation society in the United States. Its goal is to acquire land within Andover and preserve it in its natural state.

The organization controls 29 reservations totaling about Шаблон:Convert, with Шаблон:Convert of trails for hiking, skiing, or other passive recreational use. The largest AVIS reservations are Deer Jump at Шаблон:Convert, Goldsmith at Шаблон:Convert, and Rafton at Шаблон:Convert. Motor vehicles, hunting, fires, or camping in these conservation lands are prohibited. Volunteer wardens are responsible for the care and oversight of each reservation.
