  • My goals are the same as those of the Rensselaer Land Trust. I’m ecstatic to see some of your recent land acquisitions. You are making my dreams come true.” Dr. David Hunt, volunteer and member.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Successful protection of farmland is critical to the future of Rensselaer County. We appreciate the opportunity to preserve this land whose scenic beauty and passive recreational use we have enjoyed for more than 45 years. Now is the time to protect these important resources. Farms are being converted to other uses to accommodate the county’s rise in population at the expense of food production, wildlife habitats and open space. We have chosen to make Rensselaer County our home for 53 years.” Gerald and Shirley Dunn, Shadbush Hill Conservation Easement, Schodack.
