For the 2025 Medved Madness we will be accepting donations for Genesee Land Trust.
Genesee Land Trust preserves and protects natural lands and waterways that enhance the quality of life in the Greater Rochester region—providing wildlife habitat, locally grown food, and connections to nature—for everyone.
Genesee Land Trust owns and manages nature preserves across the region for the public to enjoy for generations to come. In addition, they have partnered with towns to create nature parks. Volunteer preserve stewards help monitor each preserve and coordinate the care and management of trails, help manage and enhance natural habitats, and assist with events and other activities on the preserves.
All are welcome to experience and explore these protected places.
Landowners work with Genesee Land Trust to conserve their beloved land with a permanent agreement known as a conservation easement. Working lands, such as farmland, often use this tool to restrict future subdivision and development so as to continue to be farmed. Natural lands protected by conservation easement remain undeveloped while being cared for by the private landowner.
