Deep Hole Creek Conservation

About
The owners of 15 acres in Mattituck, located on New Suffolk Avenue at Deep Hole Creek (the headwaters of Great Peconic Bay), are in the process of finalizing a 7-lot subdivision with the Town of Southold. This is the last parcel of undeveloped property on the creek.
The Good News:
The owners are willing to consider a conservation option for this property. But time is limited, and we need your help!
Working with a group of neighbors, the Peconic Land Trust is seeking support toward acquisition of the property for conservation - permanent protection.
During the next 6-8 week exploratory period, we will need to:
- Begin raising $3.3 million (in pledges) from the community toward the acquisition to demonstrate the community's commitment
- Obtain a certified appraisal of the property
- Research funding sources to complement a community fundraising campaign. (Currently, there are no public funding sources available for this acquisition.)
We are staying engaged with the owner on this time sensitive opportunity, while reaching out to the community for your help. With your support, this property will be protected from future development, and Mattituck will forever benefit:
- Scenic view shed protected
- Bucolic community character maintained
- Water quality of the creek and bay strengthened
