Foothills Land Trust
The Foothills Land Trust board met in September after completing the monitoring of designated properties. With the departure of one of the key Board members who has relocated to the United Arab Emirates, there is a need for a biologist, ecologist, or agronomist to join the Board or to support the work as a non- Board volunteer. If you are interested or know someone who might be, feel free to contact the chair with your suggestions at: sandybruce80@gmail.com
