here is a link to the Peconic Land Trust Website:

I'm not going to speak too much on the Peconic land trust, one just needs to view their website. This project is truly remarkable. This program has worked, directly to protect 9,000 acres of land, they have reclaimed a former shell fish farm (in coordination with Cornell University) and now manage the site sustainably and open it up to small scale aquaculture companies, they have a CSA, support farm to market, farm to school, and much more!
Peconic Land Trust was founded in 1983 and is run as a 501 (C) (3) nonprofit organization. The trust generates 60% of its operating revenue from donations and 40% is from services provided to clients. Fascinating model.
