A Message from Our President

Thank you for your support of conservation in 2024! And Happy New Year - I’m excited to see what 2025 will bring. I know that with you by our side we will be able to face new conservation opportunities and challenges head-on.

Each year, the Trust community supports the bulk of our annual $6 million operating budget. Your gifts allow us and future generations to enjoy this beautiful place we call home. You enable us to:

• Conserve and steward the natural, agricultural, and cultural resources that make Long Island our home.
• Preserve working farms and support the farmers who feed us.
• Connect people to land and grow a diverse conservation community.
• Ensure a strong and enduring organization.

Knowing that we can always count on our friends and community is a wonderful feeling. You understand the value of protecting our local farms and natural resources. Thanks again for supporting conservation on Long Island! I would love to hear from you – if you have a moment, please share why this work is important to you.

With gratitude,

John v.H. Halsey
President
