The mission of the
Winnakee Land Trust is to protect and preserve the natural
agricultural,
recreational, architectural, cultural, scenic, historical,
and open space
resources of northern Dutchess County.
At the heart of the
Winnakee’s mission is a deep regard for the history and natural beauty of
our towns and villages -Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Milan, Hyde Park, Clinton, and
Tivoli. The Sepasco Indians once hunted these forested lands, where our
traditional villages and farms lie now. Northern Dutchess has always had a
special beauty, recognized by early settlers, Hudson Valley School painters,
writers, and travelers. This unique history is in our landscape, in the
farmed fields and clapboard farmhouses, the Dutch barns, Victorian villages,
and riverfront mansions.
Join the Winnakee Land
Trust! Imagine a future as rich as our past!
