In celebration of its 65th anniversary, the Corning Incorporated Foundation announced sixty-five $1,000 Employee Vibrant Community Grants. Finger Lakes Land Trust (FLLT) is one of the recipients. 

As it works to conserve the lands and waters of the Finger Lakes Region, FLLT helps ensure scenic vistas, local foods, clear water, and wild places for everyone. Working in partnership with local communities and land owners, the organization has conserved more than 21,000 acres of forests, fields, wetlands, streams, and lakeshores. It owns or manages more than 30 nature preserves that are open to the public. The Land Trust has opened Steege Hill, Plymouth Woods, and Kehoe nature preserves in the Southern Tier, free to the community. This grant will be for general program support.
