Michael Lach, Executive Director of the Harwich Conservation Trust and Peter
Johnson, Vice President of the Brewster Conservation Trust, will talk to us
about the land conservation history and successes of the nonprofit Brewster
Conservation Trust.  Founded in 1983, the mission of the Brewster
Conservation Trust is to protect open space, water bodies and watersheds,
wildlife habitat, and the natural characteristics of the Town of Brewster.
The Trust acquires land by gift or purchase, helps landowners restrict
development of their property, and partners with the Town of Brewster and
other organizations to encourage sound conservation practices.  The Trust
has helped to

 preserve nearly 700 acres in Brewster. Visit
www.BrewsterConservationTrust.org.

 

Michael Lach is Executive Director of the Harwich Conservation Trust and
Assistant Director of The Compact of Cape Cod Conservation Trusts.  He has
also written environmental features for the The Cape Cod Chronicle and has
contributed eco-travel articles to The Cape Cod Times.  Michael attended
Cornell University and the University of Massachusetts and has called Cape
Cod home since 1976.  With his wife, son, and daughter, he enjoys the
natural beauty that makes Cape Cod special.

 

Peter Johnson is a Washashore who settled in Brewster in 2003. Loves
Brewster so much he finds it hard to go over the bridge -- the Bass River
Bridge, that is. He a retired retailer (Johnson's Bookstore, Springfield,
MA), skilled goof-off, member of the Museum's trail crew and VP of the
Brewster Conservation Trust.
