Councils
About
In appreciation of your generosity, the Trust provides ongoing opportunities for our major supporters to engage with our work and broader conservation challenges.
On a quarterly basis, we invite all Council and Legacy Circle members to join us for Coffee and Conversation events. Held both in-person and virtually over Zoom, these events are an opportunity to connect with leaders on the Trust’s staff and board and to learn more about the recent conservation achievements made possible by your support. Members of our Legacy Circle, Trustees, and Conservation Councils are also invited to join us throughout the year for networking and educational events held in Manhattan and across Long Island.
To learn more about how to increase your giving to become a Council member, email at Gifts@PeconicLandTrust.org or by calling 631.283.3195.
Trustees Council
Members support our work and further the Trust’s mission in both an advisory and honorary capacity. Council members are donors who gave at the $25,000 level or more in the past twelve months, and/or those who have made an extraordinary lifetime gift to the Trust.
If you are interested in learning more or supporting the Trust, please contact Major & Planned Gifts Officer, Liz Gillooly, at 631-283-3195 or EGillooly@PeconicLandTrust.org.
