Prospect Land Trust + You = Success

PLT ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP & YEAR-END DONATION DRIVE

Dear Neighbors,

It is time for Prospect Land Trust’s (PLT) Annual Membership Renewal and Year End Donation Drive. The PLT Board of Directors is aware that we are experiencing difficult economic times, but it is our sincere hope that you will consider making a monetary donation. Without your support, we would not be able to acquire & preserve land in our community, pay our insurance or function as a volunteer nonprofit, apolitical organization. As you may know, we do not receive any money from the town budget. Membership dues and donations (and the occasional small grant) are the PLT’s only sources of revenue. 

Over the years Prospect has seen tremendous growth. As the population increases, it is important that we ensure the preservation of land as open space. The PLT currently owns over 138 acres of property. The land that we have acquired by donation, conveyance or conservation easement can never be developed for homes or businesses. It will be protected and preserved as open space for the benefit of our whole community for today, tomorrow and future generations. The Board of Directors recognizes to remain viable, the PLT must experience growth commensurate with that of the community at large. Such growth can be expressed through an increase in property holdings, expansion of membership and providing more opportunities for the community to participate in PLT sponsored educational events, seasonal hikes, and family oriented activities.

Your contributions are tax- deductible and will assist the Prospect Land Trust with its mission to “acquire, maintain, and manage property in the Town of Prospect so that wetlands and watercourses, farmlands, woodlands, and other significant lands can be preserved in their present state, thereby protecting them for their scenic, natural, and historical value and for educational and recreational benefits for present and for all future generations.”
