Putnam County Land Trust Seeks Board Candidates

The Putnam County Land Trust (PCLT) is seeking candidates to serve on its Board of Trustees. Elections are held at the PCLT Annual Meeting in the spring. Membership on the Board is open to the community and carries with it the responsibility of attending monthly meetings and serving on one or two PCLT committees. The term of office can be for one, two or three years.

At the present time, PCLT manages over 500 acres of protected woodlands, grasslands, ponds and wetlands in Putnam County. All PCLT properties are open to the public for hiking, photography, nature study and other passive recreation. Shoreline fishing with New York State license is available at ponds and streams. PCLT Board members work toward managing PCLT current holdings, increasing the amount of "forever green" property in the county and seeking the funds to do this.

Members of the community are invited to nominate themselves or nominate someone they believe would contribute to PCLT's future success. All inquiries are welcome. Please call Bruce Bothwell at 225-1030 for more information or send a letter of nomination to: Board Oversight Committee, Putnam County Land Trust, PO Box 36, Brewster, NY 10509.
