Ginny Prince Conservation Award 2023
At town meeting 2023, Ginny Prince, a devoted steward of the Town Forest for 25 years, received the Cornish Conservation Commission’s award for exceptional conservation practices. She has volunteered countless hours of leadership, forest management planning, and the tough work of trail maintenance. Through her guidance and the work of the Town Forest Committee, the Town Forest became a Certified Tree Farm in 2022.
On Saturday, June 29, 2024, the Conservation Commission completed a stone bench at the Town Forest summit lookout in honor of Ginny’s steadfast stewardship of this beautiful Cornish natural resource.
Many thanks to Dave Fielder, Ed Woodbury, Reyer Jaarsma, and Corey Fitch (and Hudson and Hayden Fitch) for their fine stone work and volunteerism on behalf of the Commission.
We encourage a walk to the summit sometime this summer or fall to sit on the bench and take in the view!
