Saving Open Spaces Matters – Rob Knight
October, 2013 – We know Five River’s Memberships Work Hard to Preserve What We Value. “Over the years land we had always counted on was developed; vistas disappeared, trails were closed off, and river launches were blocked. “ Rob Knight, Five Rivers Board Member
When we moved to NH 30 years ago, there was so much open space we never even thought about it. Then Dimond Hill Farm, our beloved neighborhood farm, was in danger of being lost. We were brokenhearted until Five Rivers Conservation Trust and a coalition of partners saved the farm and its wonderful fields and woods.We realized Five Rivers had helped save Carter Hill Orchard as well, where we enjoy apples and skiing.
Five Rivers also protected Bohanan Farm with its many acres along the Contoocook River where we paddle.
By that time we had already joined Five Rivers because we realized how important it is to support our local land trust which is there to protect the farms and open land that we treasure every day.Join Audrey and me and become a member today. If you are already a member, many thanks and perhaps you would consider sharing this with your friends who might think of joining. Thank you!
