Cortlandt Land Trust

The Angell easement in Cortlandt protects 40 acres.

Cortlandt Land Trust: Dedicated to preserving Cortlandt's natural resources, scenic beauty and country character.

The Cortlandt Land Trust was organized in 2005 to promote the protection of our environmentally important open spaces and the resources they harbor. The Cortlandt Land Trust works with Westchester Land Trust to protect land through conservation easements, to identify land for acquisition, and to foster sound land use planning.
