  • This property runs along the Kinderhook creek and is gorgeous any time of the year. Those who visit will think they are out in the Rockies. My family is happy to put this beautiful location into the Rensselaer Land Trust so that others may enjoy its many advantages in perpetuity.” Ken York, Kinderhook Creek Nature Preserve, Nassau.
  • I’ve always derived a sense of spiritual replenishment from my time in natural surroundings, especially around water. I consider organizations like Rensselaer Land Trust to be an important counter-balance to the pressures to develop land, which in many cases is conducted with only profit in mind, and with no concern for the impact on the future.” Fred Alm, volunteer and member.
  • Sometimes I just start a trail and see where it leads me.” David Gaskell, Kinderhook Creek Nature Preserve, Nassau
  • Several neighbors have already told me how happy they are that I put the land in conservation easement. I’m glad that many of my neighbors seem to share my appreciation for how beautiful the area is and want to maintain it that way rather than see it developed.” Alice LeBlanc, Randall Creek Conservation Easement, Stephentown.
