The Land Trust hit the ground running this spring on a series of stewardship initiatives. Our committed team, along with volunteers, collaborated to advance multiple conservation initiatives spanning the Thousand Islands region.
A sincere thank you goes out to all the volunteers who diligently reported on trail conditions throughout the winter months, providing valuable insights that guide our stewardship efforts. Amidst the thaw, our stewardship crew tackled trail maintenance and cleanup, breathing life back into pathways weathered by a mild but unpredictable North Country winter.
The annual Common Tern Grid installation kicked off the season, a vital step in safeguarding the delicate habitats of this threatened species. As the earth awakened on Arbor Day, TILT celebrated with our annual For The Trees event, planting 55 maple trees to grow our Zenda Farms Mead Family Maple Grove. Community partners Cross Island Farms, Thousand Islands Art Center and the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center engaged attendees with fun and educational activities. Building upon the work completed at For The Trees, another group of passionate volunteers joined us back at Zenda Farms Preserve for Spring Stewardship Day, where we planted larger maple trees. The day concluded with a roadside cleanup, all to take care of this special place, our Zenda Farms Preserve.
With community support, TILT will continue its steadfast commitment to stewardship, conserving the lands we hold dear and fostering the spirit of our mission.
