This fall, we received a message from our friend, Tom Bennett about the importance of conservation in Chippewa Bay.
From a family's shared love of the land to an intergenerational tradition of stewardship, the community of Chippewa Bay remains deeply connected to the landscape. Sharing stories from the past and news about a future conservationist, Tom's letter touched our hearts.
We thank you, Tom, for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We truly appreciate your kind words and your continued love of the land. Your words reflect your family's dedication to conservation and we are honored to work alongside you.
In 2013 TILT purchased the 62-acre Baxter Property in Hammond as part of its Chippewa Bay Conservation Initiative with funding through the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA). Comprised of diverse forest stands and an expansive emergent wetlands that feed Chippewa Bay, the beautifully situated Baxter Property in Hammond provides important wildlife habitat and contributes clean water to Chippewa Bay.
Land conservation in the Thousand Islands begins with willing landowners who are interested in preserving the natural beauty, diverse wildlife habitats, water quality, and outdoor recreation opportunities of the Thousand Islands region. TILT offers various conservation options to meet the goals of the landowner and to provide the right conservation option for you.
