The Peconic Land Trust is a non-profit land trust based in Southampton, New York, United States, that exists to protect Long Island's agricultural and natural landscapes. Founded in 1983, PLT has conserved over 14,000 acres. Peconic Land Trust maintains stewardship centers at Quail Hill Farm in Amagansett (1990), Bridge Gardens in Bridgehampton (2008), and Agricultural Center at Charnews Farm in Southold (2008).
