Dear Supporters,
Saratoga P.L.A.N. needs your help to conserve a piece of our community’s landscape. P.L.A.N. is working with a property owner, their neighbors, Saratoga County, and a local town to purchase the development rights on a farm growing alfalfa, clover and grass hay for a thoroughbred breeding operation. This eighty-four acre property, which has been in the same family for 90 years will be protected by a permanent conservation easement, ensuring that it will always remain available for continued agricultural pursuits.  Horses are an important part of Saratoga County, its economy, its way of life, its landscape. Saratoga P.L.A.N. works to secure the land base that the local equine industry depends upon for pasture and hay. Agricultural fields shape, support, and sustain the region’s horse industry and the community’s character. If you appreciate the flat or harness track, trail riding, arenas, or the beauty of horses grazing in fenced pastures, and value our community’s rural landscape, please help conserve it for the future! Make a contribution today to save this farm! It takes a variety of partners pooling their resources to achieve lasting land conservation. Through grants and donations, we have raised 94% of the costs for this farm conservation project and need to raise $18,825 now to complete the easement process this summer. Please help us conserve this 84-acre farm for future generations!
