Dear Friends of the Finger Lakes, thank you for another extraordinary year in land and water conservation. Together, we surpassed many milestones—over 29,000 acres permanently conserved, nearly 5 miles of lakeshore protected, and 52 miles of trails open to the public. Please enjoy the following highlights in our Year-in-Review. Together we can do more great things in 2023!
