Current Projects & Financial Needs 2007
Sheffield Land Trust is currently raising funds to preserve six working farms, including four within an agricultural and wildlife corridor along the Housatonic River and two within a scenic corridor along Sheffield-Egremont Road and other roads in northwest Sheffield, and establish a network of public walking paths near the town center for town residents and students. To achieve these goals and leverage $6 million in state and other funding, we are raising $2.8 million from foundations and the local community. To make a contribution or pledge, please print and mail our donation or pledge form. Contributions to SLT are tax-deductible. Thank you! Click on any project name below to learn more about it.
