CNY Land Trust celebrates new name

The Central New York Land Trust debuted its new name and a new piece of land on Sunday. Formally called Save the County Incorporated, the nonprofit organization changed its name to better reflect its geographic focus and purpose.

The group celebrated its new name by unveiling 100 acres of land given to them by the Bragman Companies. For the past 36 years the Central New York Land trust has worked to keep 2,500 acres of land in its protected natural state, and the group says they are happy to be adding this 100 acres.

I'm very excited to be launching our new name, this is sort of a turning point for our organization to move forward and I think this is a great property. I really enjoyed this property when I hiked it a few years back, so I'm glad this is all coming together,” said Kathleen Bennett, President of the Central New York Land Trust.

The Central New York Land Trust says they are working with SUNY ESF and other groups to see how the land can be enjoyed by the public.
