Many people worked to complete the recent purchase of 55 acres (the Belden property) at West Rutland Marsh, but one person stands out – attorney Bill Meub. Bill and his staff spent countless hours overcoming what at times seemed to be insurmountable obstacles.
L-R: Marv Elliott, Bill Meub, Roy PilcherIn appreciation RCAS presented Bill with a photo of the boardwalk. The boardwalk symbolizes the effort to extend the natural beauty of the area to all who come to enjoy it. Audubon board member and photographer David Jenne donated the print for this special occasion. The gift was given to Bill for his outstanding effort in helping to make the purchase of the property possible.
Words penned by Roy Pilcher for the occasion best sum up our appreciation:
Rutland County Audubon Society, in presenting this image of the West Rutland Marsh and boardwalk to Bill Meub, affirms our commitment to both the integrity and the preservation of the marsh while at the same time providing access for its enjoyment.
