Welcome to the New Land Trust Website!  The picture on this page was taken October 19, 2007 and is the main trail that leads you away from the barn out to 287 acres of wilderness in the northern Adirondacks.  We have over 8 miles of trails here at the Trust that are perfect for hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

The New Land Trust is  a membership-based organization that is dedicated to environmental and ecological stewardship.  Our philosophy has its roots imbedded in ‘bioregionalism’.  We believe that we are connected to “place” on every level of life.  How we live, what we do, what we build, what we eat and what we buy are all considerations in our decisions on an everyday basis.  We are  located on the site of what was once a 540-acre farm in the scenic northeastern Adirondacks.  Through the decades, we  are established on approximately 287 acres proper.  As part of the Lake Champlain watershed, The New Land is a varied topography of wetlands, hardwood forest and meadow.  Here you will find a mixed variety of forest such as cedar, balsam, birch and poplar.  At various times  of the year, you can also find a diverse population of song birds, butterflies (including the endangered monarch butterfly), rare moths, indigenous plant species, deer, predator birds and signs of high food chain predators such as the mountain lion, bobcat and black bear.   We invite you to our website to learn more about our NLT programs and the (Adirondack Eco-Farm) farming operation that we are continuing to develop and grow.  We hope you enjoy your visit and are encouraged by our efforts.
