Development Coordinator

~ Agricultural Stewardship Association (ASA) is a nonprofit land trust helping landowners conserve farmland in Washington and Rensselaer counties in the upper Hudson River Valley. ~

Our goal is to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy our local agricultural traditions, landscapes, and products. Each family that has protected their land has a unique story, and every conserved farm contributes in its own way to our vision for the continued vitality of agriculture in our region.

There are several options available to landowners who are interested in permanently protecting their land from development. The particular method used for conservation depends on the goals of the landowner, the attributes of the land, the availability of funding and other details.

Once land is protected by a conservation easement, ASA takes on a permanent responsibility for stewardship, including annual visits and meetings with landowners to ensure that conservation goals are met.
