GALWAY — Millie Stina was born in 1938 on the Lendl Farm in Galway, where her parents William and Anna Marie, and her brother Milton settled to begin their journey as dairy farmers.
For the past few generations, the hay grown on the Lendl farm was managed and harvested as a family enterprise, recently under the leadership of Milton Lendl. The land is currently rented by the Eildon Tweed dairy farm, from Charlton, using the land to grow corn and hay.
“The love, dedication and hard labor that my parents put into this beautiful farm is what I wish to preserve as a lasting legacy to honor them,” Stina said.
Saratoga PLAN assisted the local farming family to permanently protect 66 acres of farmland through an agricultural conservation easement. This easement conserves viable agricultural land and woodlands by preventing the conversion of the property to non-farm uses.
“Saratoga PLAN is honored to have had the opportunity to assist the Lendl and Stina families with conserving their family’s farming legacy,” Saratoga PLAN Special Projects manager Maria Trabka, said in a statement. “It is gratifying to know that the family’s foresight, and PLAN’s services, combined with funding from New York State and Saratoga County, aligned to ensure that their legacy of caring for such a lovely patchwork of fields and woods will persist for the next generation of stewards.”
PLAN, which stands for preserving land and nature, has helped conserve over 7,000 acres of land in Saratoga County. The organization helps landowners conserve farmland, woodlands, and natural habitats, connects people to nature through an extensive trail network, and facilitates community-based conservation by partnering with municipalities to help them accomplish their community’s conservation goals.
