This fall marks 30 years since the Monadnock Conservancy's founding, when a group of friends gathered around a kitchen table and decided to help neighbors and communities conserve their favorite open spaces.
Times have changed, and so has the Conservancy. Yet we've held true to our original values and commitments, building on the past while adapting to a new future. Join me this Saturday at our 30th Annual Celebration to hear more, celebrate our accomplishments, and look to the next 30 years.
With gratitude,
Ryan Owens
