On Grindstone Island, where time seems to slow down and nature takes center stage, the Lange property is a valuable addition to TILT’s conservation efforts. This 7-acre parcel boasts mature oak forests, open meadows, and shrublands—a combination that supports a wide variety of wildlife, including songbirds like blue-winged and yellow warblers.

The property’s natural beauty is matched by its ecological value. By connecting with TILT’s Rusho Farm and Howard-Smith Preserves  on Grindstone Island, the Lange property creates a seamless habitat for wildlife and strengthens the island’s ecosystem.

For the Land Trust, the addition of the Lange property is more than just about expanding protected lands. It’s about preserving the essence of Grindstone Island—a place where nature, history, and community come together. With this acquisition, TILT reaffirms its dedication to protecting the natural beauty and cherished places in the Thousand Islands.
