Finger Lakes Land Trust / April 22, 2026
Dear Friends, the Finger Lakes Land Trust is celebrating two decades of conservation in Ithaca’s “Emerald Necklace” – a greenbelt of protected lands extending from the Finger Lakes National Forest in the west to the Hammond Hill State Forest in the east. Throughout 2026, we will be looking back on all we’ve accomplished together and imagining the next 20 years. And you can try our Anniversary Hiking Challenge!
