Dear Friends of the Finger Lakes, thank you for another successful year of land and water conservation. Together, we reached many milestones—over 33,500 acres permanently conserved, over 11 miles of streambanks protected, and over 55 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 2025!
