“We had a ‘Goldilocks’ summer. Not too wet, not too dry, not too many insect outbreaks, and there's a lot of green leaves remaining on the trees at Labor Day weekend,” Dave Anderson says. “And all those leaves are going to change slowly over the next couple of weeks.”

This land conservation project was born out of a collaboration between The Conservation Fund (TCF) and Affordable Housing Education & Development (AHEAD), working in partnership to secure a new location for workforce housing in the North Country. 

At this summer's Volunteer Appreciation Day, the Forest Society handed out the first annual "Tree-mendous" Volunteer Awards.
