Volunteer Appreciation Event – September 14, 2024

The Essex Land Trust recently hosted a volunteer appreciation event at Cross Lots in recognition of the significant and valuable contribution which land trust volunteers contribute to our mission. Volunteers contribute approximately 5,000 hours of their time (valued at the equivalent of $167,000). While volunteers play a critical role in the area of stewardship, there is additional and considerable effort in back-office support including finance, programs, and communications. We could not be the organization we are without the dedication of these more than 50 individuals. Pizza and beverages were provided for the occasion. A big thanks to all!

Mill Pond Paddle – August 10, 2024

The recent spell of heat, humidity and rain gave way to a clear, sunny and dry morning where eager paddlers explored Ivoryton’s Mill Pond, led by Bob and Sue Cornell. We also enjoyed a cookout at a neighbors yard overlooking the Falls River. A great way to celebrate beautiful summer weather! Thanks to all that made the event special.
