The Westchester Land Trust (WLT) has preserved forever, by a conservation easement, some land in Yonkers, which offers many benefits to the community, including scenic enjoyment and open space within a heavily developed city. The newly preserved lots are close to a property protected earlier in 2023 by WLT, creating a swath of permanently protected green space in this urban environment.
“Everyone needs access to trees, fresh air and the tranquility that comes with nature,” said Gentian Falstrom, land projects manager at WLT. “Nature deserves to be protected and whether we”™re conserving smaller parcels of land in cities or wild expanses in rural areas, it all makes a difference.”
