About this organization
Mission
Mission: The Peconic Land Trust conserves Long Island's working farms, natural lands, and heritage for our communities now and in the future. Impact: The conservation of working farms, natural lands, and heritage is closely inter-connected to many benefits that are important to all us who know and love the area ~ fresh local produce, miles of hiking trails, clean and productive bays and wetlands, drinking water protection, strong local economy, healthy ecosystems, storm water protection and buffer against effects of climate change, free public garden, historic preservation, lower property taxes (because of undeveloped land), and continued enjoyment of this unique region for generations to come.
About
Stewardship manages land, monitors and enforces conservation restrictions on protected property, and provides land management services for landowners. Our Farms for the Future Initiative promotes regional agriculture and local food production including a new farmer incubator program. Stewardship Centers include: Quail Hill Farm, one of the original Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms in the country; Shellfisher Preserve, an aquaculture facility that provides clams, scallops and oysters for local bays; and Bridge Gardens, a public demonstration garden that highlights non-toxic gardening and landscape management. The Trust annually stewards approximately 4,150 acres of fields, wetlands, woodland and farms. Most preserves provide public access, including miles of walking trails.
