GLT Acquires 221 Acres Along the Potic Creek
Greene Land Trust completed a year-long process to acquire and permanently protect a unique 221-acre property in the Town of Athens. GLT plans to convert the property into a publicly accessible park to be known as the Potic Creek Preserve, with miles of trails that will be open year-round for hiking, snowshoeing and enjoying the beautiful natural landscape.

2025 - 2030 Strategic Plan
GLT is excited to have a new Strategic Plan that will guide our work for the next five years as we focus on preserving lands that support clean water, wildlife habitat, working farms, vibrant communities, and meaningful connection to nature.
The Strategic Plan was developed over the spring and summer of 2025. It included a public outreach survey that had more than 225 responses, as well as interviews with community and conservation leaders. Over several meetings and retreats board members and staff reviewed all the input from the community and discussed how we should use what we learned to guide our work for the next five years.
