The Kingston Land Trust We protect and create access to socially and environmentally significant land in and around Kingston, NY. Land for all, all for land!

The Kingston Land Trust is a nonprofit organization that protects environmentally and socially significant land for the common good. In addition to traditional land conservation, we work collaboratively to address inequities by making land accessible to the community through urban agriculture, commuter trails, recreation, heritage sites, and affordable homes. Our innovative and inclusive programming encourages our diverse community to live in a sustainable and healthy relationship to the land and other living beings.

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor Indigenous peoples, whose cultures, knowledge, and relationships with the land endure.

Here in Kingston, we acknowledge that we live and work on the ancestral lands of the Esopus peoples of Lenapehoking. We recognize that land dispossession and erasure are not only histories of the past, and that meaningful solidarity requires ongoing learning, relationship-building, and action.

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we invite our community to reflect on the histories of the land we inhabit, listen to Indigenous voices, and consider how we can build more reciprocal relationships with the land and one another.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual Land In Black Hands Harvest Gathering! We’re still carrying the warmth, wisdom, and connections from this beautiful afternoon.

Together, we gathered around seeds and soil to share knowledge, stories, food, and practices rooted in care for the land and one another. From the talking circle with to learning about the soil at LIBH, preparing food with Chef Yunique, and connecting over a shared meal, the day was a reminder of how much we can grow when we learn and gather together.

A special thank you to our facilitators and collaborators—Chenae Bullock, Mimi Lucero, Chef Yunique Palmer—for sharing their knowledge, stories, and gifts with our community.

May the seeds we gathered—both literal and otherwise—continue to grow. 🌻
