Ithaca, NY – June 28, 2007 – Tompkins Trust Company President and CEO Greg Hartz (left) and Tompkins Trustco Chairman Jim Byrnes (right) stand on 113 acres of green space to present Andrew Zepp, Finger Lakes Land Trust executive director, with a $5,000 contribution towards the purchase of this new “link” in the Land Trust’s “Emerald Necklace” project. The land runs more than a mile along the Cayuga Inlet to connect Robert Treman State Park and a Cornell Plantations natural area. The Emerald Necklace is a long-term project to link more than 50,000 acres of public access land south of Ithaca. The new area will be formally opened in September; a six-day, 78 mile learning hike will mark the occasion.
