“Our revised logo more clearly represents our mission of protecting property by highlighting features such as agriculture, habitation, waterways, wetlands, buffer strips, trees and shrubs. We especially want to emphasize the beauty and benefits of our easement donors living on and with the land,” said David Turner.
The Virginia Eastern Shore Land Trust (VESLT) held its biennial Paint the Shore event this fall. A group of 17 artists painted en plein air on conservation lands under easement with VESLT, culminating in a November reception and art exhibit. This fall Nandua Middle School Eighth Graders were also featured during Paint the Shore.
President Karen Terwilliger commended Jeff and Timmy for their service: “VES Land Trust would not be the strong organization it is today, protecting 14,069 acres, without these two generous, conservation and community minded individuals.” Please join us in thanking them for their dedication to conservation on the Shore.
To welcome new board members Robin Rinaca and Hank Badger, the VES Land Trust Board of Directors organized a cleanup challenge in partnership with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s (CBF) Clean the Bay Day. “The VES Land Trust Board is devoted to serving and conserving the Eastern Shore community and the health of its precious natural lands and waters,” said President of the Board Karen Terwilliger, “Because litter negatively impacts the resources we protect, participating in Clean the Bay Day is a natural fit.”
