I’m proud to have helped create some of these spaces for myself, for the community, and for our children and grandchildren.

—Karen Kleven, on leading the campaign to protect Olsen Barn Meadow

This meadow and this barn offer real benefits—cultural, ecological, and educational. This is something really worth preserving.

—Terry Collins, Collins Pine

I gave to FRLT to preserve a view and an area that lifts the hearts and souls of all of us who cross the Chester causeway.

A piece of heaven on earth...
