Featured Projects
The Peconic Land Trust is excited to have worked on over 500 projects on Long Island since 1983. Nearly 14,000 conserved acres have resulted from partnering with donors, landowners, municipalities, other organizations, and local communities. These lands include working farms, meadows, woodland, dunes, and wetlands.

East End Trails Fund (Includes trails at Trust preserves throughout the East End)
Ongoing
The East End Trails Fund will help support the creation and maintenance of trails across eastern Long Island. By supporting the Trails Fund, you can help expand and ensure continued public access to some of our most interesting and beautiful preserves!

A five-acre gem in the heart of Bridgehampton, Bridge Gardens is a unique public and demonstration garden. A membership to Bridge Gardens is a great way to show your support for this beautiful public garden, open daily with free admission.
With your support, the Garden house, on the footprint of a former potato barn, will be renovated and reimagined as an educational and welcome center, coming to life as a truly public gathering place.

The historic 1747 Lt. Moses Case House in Southold has been restored and is now home to a farming family. Leslie and Priscilla Howard of Priscilla’s Farm are leasing the house and farming the adjacent 5-acres of farmland. Leslie and Priscilla have been farmers in the Trust’s Farms for the Future Initiative since 2018.
The North Fork Community and Trust supporters across the island came together to conserve the last large open space parcel on Deep Hole Creek. The parcel will not be subdivided into seven building lots, but remain as one parcel. In 2023, the Trust sold the property to a new conservation owner: Will Peckham of West Robins Oyster Company.
The Peconic Land Trust acquired 29.8 acres adjacent to the Wolf Preserve on the Great Hog Neck Peninsula. This increased the protected area to over 50 acres that will now be available for passive recreation, while also providing climate change resiliency, wildlife habitat, and groundwater protection.
Thanks to a generous donation by Katharine Rayner, the Peconic Land Trust has acquired and begun remediation and restoration of this 1.4 acre property along Georgica Pond.
