PLC’s Summer <strong>Land</strong> Stewardship Intern<br />
by Paula Bellemore<br />
Here is one sign of these economic times that<br />
worked in PLC’s favor. Earlier this year PLC<br />
executive director Eric Masterson received an<br />
email from a college student interested in pursuing a<br />
summer internship. After completing<br />
her freshman year at the University of<br />
Vermont, Mont Vernon resident <strong>Rachel</strong><br />
<strong>Brooks</strong> had come home looking for a<br />
summer job, but her options were few.<br />
While some college students might have<br />
decided to take the summer as an extended<br />
vacation, <strong>Rachel</strong> chose to make the<br />
time productive and was seeking an<br />
internship that would complement her<br />
environmental science work at UVM.<br />
As luck would have it, PLC’s <strong>Land</strong><br />
Stewardship Committee (Len Allen,<br />
Graham Pendlebury, Paula Bellemore,<br />
and Eric Masterson) had just completed<br />
a review of all 80 properties under PLC<br />
protection, creating a property-by-property list of items<br />
needing attention – items like putting up boundary signs<br />
on easement properties, updating file documentation,<br />
and creating maps of our nature trails.<br />
TO CONSERVE<br />
July / August 2009<br />
After meeting with Eric and Paula to create a summer work plan, <strong>Rachel</strong><br />
began working at PLC in early June. Since that very first day it has been raining<br />
nearly non-stop. As I write this, it’s pouring buckets outside my window,<br />
but <strong>Rachel</strong> is undeterred! She is out mapping the trail at the Rice Natural<br />
Area – rain be damned! Already this soggy summer <strong>Rachel</strong> has visited several<br />
of PLC’s fee properties to repaint existing blazes to ensure that property<br />
bounds surveyed and blazed nearly 11 years ago will remain visible for<br />
another decade or so. When it’s been simply too wet or when thunderstorms<br />
threaten, she has stayed inside reviewing property files, organizing and<br />
updating them, adding additional documents where needed, and generally<br />
assisting in a complete review of our 160+ land and easement files.<br />
Let it never be said, however, that an internship with PLC<br />
is at all boring. In her first month with PLC <strong>Rachel</strong> has<br />
logged an unusually high number of “adventures”! She’s<br />
been chased from the forest by a territorial Northern<br />
Goshawk, she’s had a tree fall down only yards from where<br />
she sat enjoying her lunch, and she’s been questioned<br />
by local police when walking one of our more remote<br />
properties. (A neighbor saw her enter the property, paint<br />
can and brush in hand, and was understandably alarmed!<br />
The officer that was called to the scene was polite and,<br />
once <strong>Rachel</strong> answered a few questions and presented her<br />
PLC identification, allowed her to proceed with no further<br />
problem. Phew!)<br />
Although <strong>Rachel</strong>’s internship is unpaid, and although she<br />
won’t receive school credit because UVM does not have an<br />
applicable internship program, <strong>Rachel</strong> will certainly return<br />
to UVM this fall with a better appreciation for the important stewardship<br />
work of a regional land trust, and with a whole cadre of stories to share!<br />
Thanks, <strong>Rachel</strong> – it has certainly been an adventure!<br />

FROM THE EXECUTIVE<br />
DIRECTOR’S DESK<br />
by Eric Masterson<br />
by Paula Bellemore, PLC Director of Development, sitting in for Eric this issue<br />
In this summer of 2009, PLC is fast approaching the 4500 mark – 4500<br />
acres of protected land! More than five years ago, PLC Board Member<br />
and President Jed Callen encouraged my involvement with PLC, speaking<br />
with passion of the importance of “doing work that matters”. His commitment and sense of pride in the organization and its<br />
work stay with me to this day.<br />
At the 2003 PLC Annual Meeting, my first, we celebrated the protection of just over 1700 acres. Thanks to a passionate and<br />
competent Board of Directors, big changes were afoot, including the recent hiring of our first [part-time] executive director,<br />
Margaret Watkins, followed in 2004 by the completion of PLC’s award-winning Watershed Conservation Plan – a document that<br />
continues to guide our work today – both significant factors in PLC’s renewed energy and commitment to land conservation.<br />
More than five years later, nothing could better illustrate the growth PLC has experienced with the hiring of staff than the milestone<br />
we now approach – 4500 acres of land conserved in perpetuity.<br />
As I look through the list of PLC-protected properties that my children and I have explored together, forests and fields that they<br />
will be able to return to in 20-30 years with their children and grandchildren, I can’t help but be proud of all we have accomplished.<br />
I hope each and every member listed on pages 4-5, along with the countless other supporters and friends that have built this<br />
organization over the past 39 years, share that sense of pride.<br />
Take some time this summer to explore one of PLC’s trails and savor the success your membership has helped to achieve! Share<br />
the story of your commitment to protecting the local environment with your children and grandchildren, friends and neighbors.<br />
Your enthusiasm and commitment will surely inspire them, as Jed inspired me! PLC continues to do work that mattered 39 years<br />
ago, that matters today, and that will matter for decades to come. I am proud to have a role in its success and am grateful for<br />
the support of our members, donors, landowners, and community members.<br />
Upcoming PLC Events<br />
I truly look forward to PLC events – spending time<br />
with a group of like-minded and like-hearted people<br />
renews my spirit!<br />

Anonymous Gift to PLC<br />
Establishes New <strong>Land</strong> Protection<br />
Assistance Fund<br />
by Paula Bellemore<br />
For Barbara Sholl of New Boston, the idea of permanently<br />
protecting her land by placing it under conservation easement<br />
was a long-held dream. Knowing that the fields and forests<br />
that surround Timberinghill Farm, the home in which she and her<br />
husband Kevin McLarnon raised their son, would be forever safe from<br />
development would allow her to leave the legacy that she dreamt of.<br />
Yet when the time came to protect her land, Barbara was surprised at<br />
the costs involved. There were survey costs, an appraisal, legal fees,<br />
recording fees, fees for PLC overhead and staff time, and stewardship<br />
fees. Unfortunately, given the number of easements that PLC takes<br />
on, these costs cannot begin to be covered by PLC membership and<br />
annual fund contributions.<br />
For many would-be conservationists, the unexpected costs involved in<br />
land protection threaten to derail a project. Faced with the choice of<br />
selling their land or spending thousands to protect it can often feel<br />
like no choice at all. While surprised at the expenses involved, Barbara<br />
and Kevin were fortunate. They were able to work closely with PLC<br />
to secure the necessary funding from other sources and complete the<br />
project. Timberinghill Farm was successfully preserved in late 2007!<br />
With the recent economic downturn, there might be more opportunities<br />
to save land, but raising these funds is becoming more difficult<br />
for landowners – a challenge PLC’s Board has been wrestling with.<br />
It was within this context that an anonymous donor approached<br />
PLC in May with an incredibly generous gift of $25,000! There was<br />
unanimous agreement that the first priority was to create a fund to<br />
assist property owners wanting to permanently conserve their land.<br />
The yet-to-be-named land protection assistance fund will serve as a<br />
source of supplementary funding for high priority land projects and<br />
their associated costs. The PLC Board of Directors will approve any<br />
expenditure from the fund, first insuring that other funding sources<br />
such as grants, community funding, and private gifts are pursued prior<br />
to any expenditure from the fund. While the fund is not intended to<br />
cover full project costs for any project, it may be used to cover the real<br />
costs of any approved project, including PLC staff time, survey, legal<br />
or stewardship costs, or any other transactional cost associated with<br />
the completion of the project.<br />
Since its inception, this land protection assistance fund has generated<br />
tremendous enthusiasm and support. It is our hope to grow the fund<br />
to seed many future projects. If securing the protection of land in<br />
our community is a priority of yours too, there are numerous ways to<br />
contribute: gifts of appreciated securities, bequests, assignment of<br />
IRAs or other retirement accounts, and other planned giving tools are<br />
all appropriate vehicles.You can also contribute via our secure website<br />
or by mailing a check to PLC, noting LPAF in the memo section on<br />
your check.<br />
For more information, please contact either Eric Masterson or<br />
Paula Bellemore at the PLC office, 603-487-3331.<br />
