Why are you a member?

My family and I feel strongly about supporting local non-profits that work to support the entire community – both the residents and the land.  The Finger Lakes Land Trust exists to ensure that anyone can visit, explore, observe, and appreciate the natural beauty that exists in our region.

As someone who works in public education, I appreciate the opportunities for students to visit preserved lands and the educational programs that the Land Trust offers.

How long have you been a member of FLLT?

Member since 2013.

What’s your favorite FLLT activity and/or preserve, and why?

Taking a walk through Ellis Hollow Nature Preserve is a favorite.  It’s easy to access for my family and a great place to go to see the seasons change.
