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!
