Joe-
I don't personally have any experience with permaculture
implementation on a land trust, but I know that Kevin of the Hudson
Valley Eco Village (which didn't get off the ground, but the email
list is still active) was dealing with such issues on some land in
upstate NY last year. You might be able to contact him through their
Yahoo group page: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/HVEcovillage/
if you haven't checked it out yet, take a look at Dave Jacke's Edible
Forest Gardens volumes. Rather pricey, but his take on permaculture
is specific to the Northeast and seems to me perfectly compatible
with the philosophy behind a land trust while generating and
enhancing productivity.
Please keep the list informed of what you find out and what happens,
as permaculture implementation in conjunction with land trust
conservation could be an effective combination.
