At RLT, we continue to look for ways to communicate effectively with members like you. We take pride in the improvements we have made in our organization's newsletter and website, but we wish to go the next step.
We now have built a better infrastructure for sending updates by email. This may be used for any of our regular communications including our newsletter which may be sent as a pdf. Additionally, we hope to send more frequent communications which up till now would have been costly to the organization and create an unnecessary impact on the environment.
Help us save costs and save the environment!

Sunday Sept, 26, 1:00PM Find a Historic Cemetery in Stephentown
Spend a Sunday afternoon strolling in the cemetery of the oldest church in Stephentown. The church is no longer at this site, but the cemetery remains, containing the grave of a Revolutionary War soldier and many colorful epitaphs. Although grave stone rubbing is no longer allowed, the Stephentown Historical Society will show rubbings from the past. Bill Niemi will then lead a short walk to Randall Brook and an extensive wetland. The owner of this property has protected it for future generations through a donated conservation easement to RLT.
For information and directions, call Doree Cox at 658-2643 or Francille Egbert at 674-3214.

Hoosic River Boat Launch Dedication |

RENSSELAER LAND TRUST HOOSIC RIVER COMMUNITY BOATING & FISHING DAY!
On Saturday, July 31, the Rensselaer Land Trust held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of a boat launch built on conserved farm land along the Hoosic River between Buskirk and Eagle Bridge. The project was a team effort between the Land Trust and the state Department of Environmental Conservation with funding provided by the state Attorney General’s Office through a settlement resulting from the 2001 Oak Mitsui chemical spill.
The site is a mile and a half east of Buskirk on Route 67. It is open to rooftop boats only. Many of the visitors took advantage of the fine weather to launch their kayaks and canoes to play on the river. There was also a fly fishing competition. The highlight of the ceremony was State Sen. Roy McDonald teaching Rensselaer County Executive Kathy Jimino how to cast for fish.
Here are links to writeups about the event in the Troy Record and the Albany Times Union
