We are delighted to share the news that the six privately-owned lots that run along side closed Klingle Road were recently donated in full to the Conservancy by the Tregaron Limited Partnership (TLP). All of this land will now be protected from development in perpetuity.
This conveyance includes historically significant land, including the Grand Staircase (a set of 66 lovely stone stairs that are original to the property) and a portion of the bridle path — both dating back to 1915. Although the Conservancy did not own this land until recently, it has been maintaining the land since its inception nearly 10 years ago. The donation will now allow the land to be further improved and restored.
On April 24, 2015, the Conservancy hosted a ceremony attended by TLP representative Arie Ofri to thank TLP for the donation and to dedicate a bronze plaque in memory of its founder. The plaque reads: “In memory of S. N. Eisenberg for generously donating this land to the Tregaron Conservancy for the enjoyment of generations to come.” At the ceremony, looking out over the restored pond and woodlands, Mr. Ofri remarked that “although TLP originally had other plans for the land, [the Conservancy] was the right outcome.”
The Tregaron Conservancy is enormously grateful to TLP for donating this land. The Conservancy’s ownership of the estate’s woodlands and gardens is now complete and protected forever, for the enjoyment and benefit of the public.
