Yes. Trust can receive land as gift, supported by the proper Gift Deed documenting the same. 

Make  sure that the gift is not in conflict with the objectives of the Trust. 

As per Section 62, as the gift made to a trust is irrevocable the income arising from that property shall not be included in the income of the transferror. The income becomes the income of the Trust (Transferee)

it will be taxable in the hands of trust. Income will not be taxable provided the trust is registered and the income is spent on its object registered.
