  • We’re very happy to have donated this easement and be working in partnership with Rensselaer Land Trust. We love this land, and it’s an important part of our legacy to ensure that our bit of the Rensselaer Plateau remains a friendly habitat to the frogs, salamanders, fish, woodcocks, pheasants, bobwhites, occasional bobcats, and all of the other wildlife. The easement also protects the history and future of the land and the barn by allowing responsible traditional use of the fields, forest, and structures.” Bill and Teresa Holliday, Ridgeline Conservation Easement, Stephentown.
  • For the last 35 years we have enjoyed walking, skiing, snowshoeing and animal watching in our woods. We are very satisfied knowing that this land will always be protected so others, in the near and distant future, will have the same enjoyment." John and Linda Gowdy, Colehamer Road Conservation Easement, Poestenkill.
  • It is our hope that this property will be enjoyed for many generations to come, with its natural beauty along the Wynantskill Creek, abundant wildlife, beautiful walking trails and historical significance.” Jim Staalesen, son and spokesperson for the Staalesen family. John B. Staalesen Vanderhyden Nature Preserve, Troy.
  • I believe in what you are doing. It’s a really good cause. I think it is important to sustain the natural areas that are left for the future generations of people and wildlife. I believe in sustainability, the long road, and that’s what Rensselaer Land Trust’s work is all about.” Sean Rowe, volunteer and member.
