Trust
Conserving Long Island's Working Farms and
Natural Lands
Peconic Land Trust works with landowners to
protect our scenic vistas, water quality and
productive farmland on Eastern Long Island.
Peconic Land Trust raises funds to
protect Long Island's working farms and
natural lands of significant
conservation value and scenic or historic
importance to a community. These fundraising
collaborations with private donors, often in
partnership with a local municipality that
provides matching funds, leverages limited
public monies for conservation. In many
cases, the land is under serious threat of
development and time is the critical
ingredient.
Sometimes, in
order to take the property off the market,
it is necessary for the Trust to tap its
“revolving fund,” a source of emergency
funding that has been underwritten by the
Peter Jay Sharp Foundation. This “loan” is
eventually paid back to the fund through the
sale of development rights and successful
fundraising so that working capital will be
available for future conservation
emergencies.
