The Peconic Land Trust is a nonprofit organization focused on protecting Long Island’s working farms, natural lands, and regional heritage. Founded in 1983 by John v.H. Halsey and a small group of local residents, the trust collaborates with landowners, communities, municipalities, and partner organizations to safeguard nearly 14,000 acres. Operating in the environmental services sector, it prioritizes sustaining agricultural landscapes and natural spaces for present and future generations. Through its work, it has established itself as a prominent private conservation organization on Long Island. Based in Southampton, New York, on Long Island, the organization serves landowners, communities, and local governments as its primary stakeholders, along with partner groups involved in conservation. In April 2026, reports described a potential partnership with Riverhead Town and Suffolk County to preserve about 145 acres in Baiting Hollow, illustrating ongoing collaboration to protect land in the region.
