Westmoreland Land Trust Asks For Property Suggestions

There may be land in your community that the Westmoreland Land Trust would be interested in preserving.
            The Westmoreland Land Trust is an independent, 501(c)(3) organization, formed in late 2007.   It has preserved more than 100 acres of open space in four Westmoreland County communities in the past two years.  
            And there may be parcels in your community that would be a good match for the trust’s efforts.  
            The land trust looks for such things as: land that offers a scenic vista, tracts that help to create a larger greenway corridor through the county, areas that are ecologically sensitive, places that are historically significant, and land that has other benefits for our community.
            The land trust’s volunteer board evaluates the benefits of each parcel according to established criteria, and it can acquire properties through easements, donations, and outright purchases.
            If you know of any properties that you would like the Westmoreland Land Trust to consider, please contact them by sending email to:  westmorelandlandtrust@gmail.com.
