Our very own, locally grown organic Peconic Land Trust is being honored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency with an Environmental Champion Award for their work in protecting the environment and improving public health conditions. This is a federal award from EPA’s Region 2 office, which includes New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico & the US Virgin Island. Quite an honor!
The PLT was founded in 1983, is based out of Southampton but its reach for preserving land has span across Long Island. Through landowners & municipalities the PLT has preserved over 11,000 acres.
There are so many stunning places you can enjoy that the Land Trust has worked to preserve… Quail Hill, Bridge Gardens, Amber Waves, Shellfisher and much more. You can learn about farming, gardening, photography, shellfish, buy organic eggs, and so much more!
To John v. Halsey, President of the Peconic Land Trust, and his incredible board and staff… Congratulations… Well done!
