May is Membership Month
Your land trust membership helps us keep trails safe, manage invasive plants and protect endangered species like the Bobolink. Your membership gives you access to special events and programs, member-only benefits and a great community.
We are dedicated to preserving the character and natural beauty of the town of North Salem, NY and the area around it by establishing land areas free from exploitation, development, and deterioration and by maintaining the environmental and ecological integrity of the area.
Preserve Your Land
Since 1974, The North Salem Open Land Foundation has been preserving open space in North Salem, New York and the surrounding community. These open spaces provide refuge for wildlife and educational and recreational opportunities for the community at large. We work with public agencies, communities, and above all, private landowners.
NSOLF is always looking for volunteers to support our efforts to protect rural open space and assist with events.
Visit our preserves with public access for walking, skiing, birding, dog walking and horseback riding.
When you become a member of NSOLF, you can be assured your investment is immediately put to use.
