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 />

On the Cover: Dawn breaks in New<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 />
