Preserving our past for your future.
Uihlein Foundation preserves and stewards 1,342 acres of scenic, historic, and natural resources through educational, agricultural, and environmental programs, as well as recreational & interpretive trails.
The Uihlein lands offer a diverse range of opportunities for connection, storytelling, recreation, research, and nonprofit support through their varied landscapes including open fields, forests, community preserves, and historic sites. The Foundation is committed to understanding and protecting these resources to ensure they remain available for future generations in our Adirondack communities.
