From Jerry<br />
I was just a week away from sending out this edition of <strong>Places</strong> when the<br />
Covid-19 pandemic changed all of our lives in so many ways. In my house,<br />
that meant the return of a college freshman and learning how to live<br />
together as a family of four again – a minor change that I’m grateful for! I<br />
hope you and your family are experiencing relatively mild impacts as well.<br />

Hampshire’s Great Bay.<br />
During the last few months, we’ve all been itching to get out of the house<br />
whenever we get the chance to do it safely. In the best-case scenario that<br />
means being able to walk, run, or hike in a park or forest close to home.<br />
For me, the pandemic has reinforced the need for there to be a variety<br />
of conserved open space in all communities. The majority of my career<br />
has been spent working with non-profits to publicize land conservation<br />
projects throughout the northeastern US, and in these times, I am<br />
even more impressed with the amazing work these organizations have<br />
accomplished over the last three decades. Many of the photos on the<br />
following pages show how this work continues.<br />
Be well, stay safe, and enjoy the outdoors!<br />
