Rondout-Esopus Land Conservancy is a nonprofit trust that works with landowners to protect and preserve land in Ulster County, New York for the enjoyment of current and future generations.
Our volunteer-run organization provides information to landowners interested in the conservation process and facilitates, monitors and defends existing RELC easements.
Working with RELC has developed a positive outlook on the preservation process.
