Balancing Sound Development & Effective Conservation

We are also working to protect the Willows, a farmhouse in the town of Athens that was built in the late 18th century that is now listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places. We acquired the house in October 2009 will undertake a sensitive renovation and then use the house to support environmental education on the surrounding land owned by the Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and at the nearby Cohotate Preserve.  We are currently working to restore this property.  Read more.
