On Friday, April 25th, the historic Dingletown Church property, located at 376 Stanwich Road, was transferred to Greenwich Land Trust with the goal of protecting this special and historic place.
Greenwich Land Trust, in collaboration with the Dingletown Church leadership, crafted a robust set of preservation restrictions and a deeded conservation easement to protect the integrity of the site’s landscape, the historic character of the church building, and the pastoral beauty of the neighborhood.
The Dingletown Church’s leadership initiated this generous donation and was visionary in making this possible.
Greenwich Land Trust is currently discussing transferring the property to the Greenwich Tree Conservancy, a local environmental organization whose mission is to plant, preserve and protect the urban forests of Greenwich for the benefit of community health and quality of life.
The Greenwich Tree Conservancy would serve as the property’s long-term steward, ensuring the site is preserved in alignment with the preservation and conservation restrictions established by Greenwich Land Trust and Dingletown Community Church and made accessible to the Greenwich community in a thoughtful and meaningful way.
