<strong>Land</strong> <strong>Trust</strong><br />
20<strong>06</strong> ANNUAL REPORT
lank
OUR MISSION <br />
At <strong>Westchester</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Trust</strong>, our mission<br />
is clear and simple: We preserve land in partnership<br />
with private property owners. We help communities<br />
create new parks and preserves. And we work to foster<br />
sound land use planning.<br />
We think our accomplishments show that we've been true to<br />
our mission.<br />
From our founding in 1988, we have protected 4,464 acres in 25 communities<br />
- 2,825 acres in conservation easements, 1,123 acres in new<br />
public parks and preserves, and 516 acres in preserves that we own.<br />
We've highlighted some of our 20<strong>06</strong> successes in this annual<br />
report, and illustrated them with photographs by Christian<br />
<strong>Westchester</strong> <strong>Land</strong><br />
<strong>Trust</strong> holds 144<br />
conservation easements<br />
and owns<br />
30 preserves.<br />
Harder. We hope you enjoy the results.<br />

OUR DONORS <br />
The breadth of support <strong>Westchester</strong> <strong>Land</strong><br />
<strong>Trust</strong> receives from the community leaves us speechless.<br />
In 20<strong>06</strong>, we worked with at least 26 different partners<br />
on land protection projects - partners who put untold<br />
amounts of time, energy, and money into projects as<br />
small as one acre and as big as 654 acres.<br />
In 20<strong>06</strong>, financial support came from more than 900 donors, in<br />
amounts both large and small. All told 930 acres are now forever<br />
green thanks to their efforts.<br />
It's worth saying again: without such support, we would<br />
accomplish little.<br />
Our land preservation partners are listed on page 21 and we<br />
recognize our financial supporters on pages 24-27.<br />
But our "Thanks!" begin here.<br />

a big part of what makes living here special.”<br />

<strong>Land</strong> Acquisition<br />
<strong>Westchester</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Trust</strong> is not generally considered<br />
an urban organization, and <strong>Westchester</strong> County is not typically<br />
thought of as farming country. But an important addition to<br />
a park in New Rochelle and a state-funded agreement to keep a<br />
family farm in Yorktown and Cortlandt operating were among<br />
our biggest land acquisition achievements of 20<strong>06</strong>.<br />
Add to those preservation projects the Angle Fly Preserve in<br />
Somers and smaller acquisitions in Lewisboro and Cortlandt, and<br />
20<strong>06</strong> was the year in which we acquired the largest number of<br />
acres in the most diverse locales. Next steps: help Somers,<br />
<strong>Westchester</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Trust</strong>’s<br />
goal is to protect a total<br />
of 5,000 acres by 2008, our<br />
twentieth anniversary year.<br />
Lewisboro, and other towns create management plans for all these<br />
new preserves.<br />
In New Rochelle, WLT worked with residents and city officials<br />
to help buy an acre of woods to add to Glenwood Lake Park.<br />
We're firm believers that for <strong>Westchester</strong>'s cities to remain attrac-<br />
6
tive, they need vibrant and welcoming parks to balance new development.<br />
There's no better example of how important green space can<br />
be than Glenwood Lake Park, which we've now helped expand twice.<br />
Further north, we worked with officials from <strong>Westchester</strong><br />
County, New York State, the Watershed Agricultural Council, and<br />
Yorktown and Cortlandt to secure $2.7 million in state funding to<br />
protect Hemlock Hill Farm. The 116-acre farm, which spans the<br />
Yorktown-Cortlandt border just north of the Croton Reservoir, has<br />
been in the DeMaria family for years and, as part of the preservation<br />
deal - the first of its kind in <strong>Westchester</strong> - the DeMarias promised<br />
to continue to farm the land.<br />
It's a stunning locale that easily could have been<br />
the site of a housing development. Instead it will<br />
help keep <strong>Westchester</strong>'s rural heritage alive. <br />

Conservation<br />
Easements<br />
Preserving community character isn't everything, but it<br />
counts for a lot, particularly when the characteristics we're protecting<br />
include wetlands that are part of a public water supply watershed,<br />
woods and fields that are home to a diversity of plants and animals,<br />
and views that make passers-by look twice.<br />
When Peter and Janet Harckham donated a conservation easement<br />
on five acres they own on Mount Holly, in Bedford, we accomplished<br />
all three objectives.<br />
Mount Holly is one of the older, historic areas of Bedford, Katonah<br />
and Lewisboro. It's a neighborhood of dirt roads that wind through<br />
Conservation easements<br />
protect sensitive areas<br />
while keeping them in<br />
the woods, of fields and century-and-a-half-old houses.<br />
<strong>Westchester</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Trust</strong> now holds eight conservation easements,<br />
protecting, 92 acres, in the Mount Holly area, and three other nature<br />
private hands.<br />
10
preserves protect an additional 540 acres. There's more to accomplish<br />
on Mount Holly, of course, but the Harckham easement is a small but<br />
important part of that larger whole.<br />
Further south, the easement that Kenneth Heller donated in Rye<br />
Brook protects 2.5 acres on Blind Brook, a tributary of Long Island<br />
Sound. Stormwater-borne pollutants are serious problems in the<br />
Sound and its harbors, and in an area like Rye Brook, where houses<br />
on half-acre lots are the rule, every piece of protected land makes a<br />
difference.<br />
At 2.5 acres, the Heller property thus became one of our top 20<strong>06</strong><br />
easements, and Rye Brook became the 25th community in which we<br />
had protected land.<br />

donated a 5-acre conservation easement.
We have conservation easements that protect water<br />
quality, easements that protect wildlife habitat, easements that<br />
provide access to trails. But we think it's just plain cool to have a<br />
conservation easement that does nothing more - or less - than protect<br />
the character of Pocantico Hills, one of those timeless places of<br />
white clapboard and quiet streets that connects you to the past.<br />
Pocantico Village Green is just an acre in <strong>size</strong>, and it's not exactly<br />
wildlife habitat. But the Laurance Rockefeller <strong>Trust</strong> donated it<br />
with the idea that if the Green were allowed to change, Pocantico<br />
New federal rules increase the<br />
<strong>size</strong> of the charitable tax<br />
deduction that conservation<br />
easement donors may be eligible<br />
Hills would not be the same. Build one house on it or build 10 and<br />
the area would be different, and not better.<br />
But with the donation of the Pocantico Village Green conservation<br />
easement, that risk is gone. And everyone who ever drives<br />
for, to 50 percent from 30<br />
percent of adjusted gross income.<br />

donors in New York State<br />
can now get a 25 percent<br />

To the north, the easement donated by Susan Todd and Andrew<br />
Young protects five acres near Colabaugh Pond in Cortlandt. It's a<br />
property taxes they pay on<br />
their protected land, up to a<br />
maximum of $5,000 a year.<br />
quiet neighborhood that the Wildlife Conservation<br />
Society/Metropolitan Conservation Alliance described as "an<br />
excellent wildlife community typical of large tracts of habitat." The<br />
Todd-Young easement will help keep it that way.<br />
In Somers, Jim Zappi donated an 80-acre easement as part of his<br />
Meadow Ridge development. Planned in conjunction<br />
with the Town of Somers, it protects a watershed area<br />
and sets aside room for recreation in an innovative<br />
subdivision. <br />

“The biological and regional uniqueness...make the Pound Ridge<br />
fen a place worthy of continued study and protection efforts.”<br />
~ Researcher Jason Tesauro
The Pound Ridge fen<br />

Habitat Protection<br />
When we tell people we're conducting a research<br />
project at a calcareous fen, we tend to get blank stares in response.<br />
A research project in a what<br />
While biological research is not the biggest part of our portfolio,<br />
the opportunity in Pound Ridge was too good to ignore and fit<br />
well within the land use part of our mission.<br />
We had special funding, willing landowners, the scientific staff<br />
to oversee the work, and the calcareous fen.<br />
The what A calcareous fen is an open wetland fed by groundwater<br />
that percolates up through marble or limestone bedrock (in<br />
<strong>Westchester</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Trust</strong>’s<br />
conservation staff regularly<br />
helps land owners and<br />
our case, Inwood marble). The marble gives the water a high pH,<br />
and the plants and animals that live in the wetland are adapted to<br />
the harsh conditions. To say that calcareous fens are rare is an<br />
easement donors manage<br />
their property to protect<br />
important habitats.<br />
16
understatement. They are, in fact, considered globally rare.<br />
Using money left to us by the late Shelly Satin and Joan<br />
Throckmorton, who lived in Pound Ridge, we hired Jason Tesauro,<br />
a top researcher, and studied the fen for a month.<br />
Tesauro's work confirmed what we suspected: the fen, which<br />
covers more than eight acres, is an extraordinary habitat. We<br />
found numerous juvenile spotted turtles and rare plants such as<br />
grass of Parnassus, fringed gentian, and sundews.<br />
We'll be returning to the fen to work on a plan to manage<br />
and protect it. And we'll continue to work elsewhere in<br />
<strong>Westchester</strong> on habitat protection and land use reforms, to<br />
help ensure that our best lands are protected and our buildable<br />
lands are developed in the best ways. <br />

“We live on Mount Holly because of its beauty and because so<br />
much of it is protected. We’re very pleased to be able to do<br />
our part.”<br />

THE CAMPAIGN FOR<br />
WESTCHESTER LAND<br />
TRUST<br />
To be sure we'll stand the test<br />
of time, <strong>Westchester</strong> <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Trust</strong><br />
needs to secure enough funds to<br />
consistently monitor and maintain<br />
the land we protect. We<br />
also need to raise working capital,<br />
today, to support the<br />
increasing number of new land<br />
acquisition projects being proposed<br />
throughout <strong>Westchester</strong>.<br />
So, in June 2005, we began the<br />
first phase of our Capital/<br />
Endowment Drive - the $8 million<br />
Campaign for <strong>Westchester</strong><br />
<strong>Land</strong> <strong>Trust</strong>. Included in this<br />
campaign is a $3 million dollar<br />
Preservation Fund for acquisition<br />
projects.<br />
We are pleased to say we<br />
have received over $4 million<br />
dollars in leadership gifts. The<br />
following donors have made a<br />
commitment, not only to our<br />
campaign, but to creating a<br />
legacy of conservation in<br />
<strong>Westchester</strong> County. As we<br />
move further into the next<br />
phase of the Campaign during<br />
the coming year, we hope this<br />
list of supporters will continue<br />
to increase.<br />

PHOTOGRAPHER<br />
CHRISTIAN HARDER <br />
Christian acquired his love for photography<br />
while exploring the environments of his home state of New<br />
York and his adopted state of Rhode Island. He took the<br />
photographs in this <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> with a Holga camera,<br />
an inexpensive, plastic, medium-format, pinhole camera.<br />
The Holga uses a single plastic, convex lens with a 60-millimeter<br />
focal length. The lens presents a fish-eyed, soft focused take on the<br />
subject matter. The Holga can capture multiple exposures because<br />
the film advance is manual (rather than linked to the shutter button).<br />
Christian says, "It is this characteristic that attracts me. I work with<br />
a technique that allows me to create panoramic images by overlapping<br />
frames. I create a shorter picture by overlapping two or three<br />
frames, or a very exaggerated picture by overlapping all 16 of the<br />
roll's frames."<br />
"The challenge of<br />
the Holga is being<br />
able to visualize<br />
what the image<br />
will look like before<br />
I begin the picturemaking<br />
process."<br />
