Kraai land preserved by Genesee Land Trust The Genesee Land Trust has received a conservation easement on farmland and woodlands along Arcadia-Zurich Road in Wayne County, the gift of Becky Kraai, now a resident of Rochester. The Kraai land is rich with hay fields, woodlands, wetlands and hedge-rows sheltering a multitude of wildlife. Because of the agreement with the Genesee Land Trust, the natural habitats will be conserved in perpetuity. With this gift, the Land Trust adds 105 acres to the 1500 it already protects in Monroe, Wayne and Livingston Counties. Kraai's decision to protect this acreage with the gift of a conservation easement on the land to the Genesee Land Trust came about largely because of her commitment to protecting the natural health of the land. Kraai wants to offer future generations an opportunity to connect with the beauty of the land and be open to the peace that can come from it, as she and her family have done. Thomas Tette, President of the Trusts Board of Directors, expressed the gratitude of all for Kraai's generosity. In honor of the gift and in celebration of Genesee Land Trust's 15th Anniversary, Crowfield, the Kraai Easement, will be open to the public for exploring its fields, woods, and wetlands on Sunday, May 22. The Genesee Land Trust invites all to visit or call 585.256.2130 for more information. The Genesee Land Trust office is located at 500 East Avenue in Rochester. Gay Mills serves as the Trusts Executive Director. Copyright
