Each piece of land has a story
The owners of each one of our 17 preserved lands looked to the future with a love of their land. They all chose to preserve their land for various and personal reasons.
Protecting their land from development represents an economic sacrifice for the greater good of us all and our future generations.
Learn the stories of these lands preserved through the Centre County Farmland Trust, like the Rossman Family Farm in Potter Township (pictured).
