614 acre Hennig Preserve

On August 23rd, Saratoga P.L.A.N. accepted a gift of a six hundred and fourteen acre property in the Town of Providence.  The property is entirely forested and is located on Centerline Road.  Bob Hennig and Penny Steffen, and Barbara Hennig lovingly cared for this property for over 50 years, and have now entrusted its care to Saratoga PLAN.

Saratoga P.L.A.N. will manage the property as a natural area for native forest and wetland flora and fauna. Eventually, this property will be open to the public for passive recreation such as hiking and walking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and nature study. 

An 82-acre conservation easement on Creekside Farm in Wilton New York was donated by Susan Miller.  This beautiful property rests along the banks of the Snook Kill, surrounded by an abundance of natural habitat and wildlife. (pictured above - Susan Miller with Benjamin.  Click for link)

A 50-acre conservation easement on Wing Road in the Town of Greenfield was donated by Linell Lands, Inc.. Aaren Hatalsky and Chris Harris grow vegetables and hops, and raise chickens on a portion of the property known as Wing Road Farm

Saratoga PLAN helps protect the exceptional quality of life in our region

by conserving open spaces and special places for present and future generations.

As a land trust, we protect land in the Saratoga region through purchases and donations of land and conservation easements, to protect important natural resources and open spaces. We have protected over 3,247 acres of farmland, forestland, natural areas, trail corridors, and historic sites in the Saratoga region and have over 1,000 acres of projects now in the works.

As a community partner, we help landowners, developers, community and government agencies find innovative ways to guide development, reduce sprawl, preserve and enhance outdoor recreational areas and protect the natural qualities of the region.
