The land trust accreditation program recognizes land conservation organizations that meet national quality standards for protecting important natural places and working lands forever. The Edmund Niles Huyck Preserve ( the Huyck Preserve) is pleased to announce it is applying for accreditation. A public comment period is now open.

These are the prerequisite to lasting conservation and stewardship of the land that has been entrusted to us over the years".
