Six Mile Creek — Beautiful in all seasons, treasured for recreation, and vital as the source of drinking water for thousands who live and work in the City of Ithaca. Together we can protect it forever.
We are acting on a rare chance to buy land that buffers 12,000 feet of shoreline along Six Mile Creek and its tributaries upstream of Ithaca. Please take a moment to watch our short video, “Where Does Your Drinking Water Come From?”
Do you have friends who love clean water and pristine natural areas? Share the video with them on Facebook! Every dollar helps. You can see that the glass is filling up. Let’s fill up the cup!
That’s right, the glass is full! But we still have so much work to do. Together we will save more amazing places. Donate today!

This is a rare opportunity to protect drinking water and a beloved outdoor destination of forest, gorge, and wetland.
The land is just downstream of our popular Roy H. Park Preserve. It will join a growing complex of conservation lands that also includes a Cornell Plantations Natural Area and two state forests.
See the press release on our Six Mile Creek Protection Project. Please contact us with any questions about this exciting project and how you can help save more land in the Finger Lakes region.
