Wildlands' Governance News 2022

It’s always hard to say goodbye to long-serving, knowledgeable, committed board members. With their fingerprints on so many of our protected lands projects, Howard Randall and Gary Langenbach combined had 60-plus years of service to Wildlands by the time they retired from the Wildlands board this past September. We thank them both for their many years of service to our mission. Howard has served as past Board Chair, and Gary as the Chair of the Lands Committee. We would also like to thank Allen Caggiano, who stepped down after nearly a decade of service.

The board voted in a slate of new members, and we are delighted to welcome Matt Cammack of Milton, Russ Keeler of Rochester, Peter Tyack of Hanover, and Ethan Warren of Plymouth.

Field Park, formerly the highest point in Brockton.

Shaw's Selects to Support Wildlands Trust, Again!

Wildlands Trust has been selected again as a beneficiary of the Shaw’s GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag Program for the month of October.

Every time this bag is sold, Wildlands will receive a $1 donation.

The Shaw’s Giving Tag Program, which launched in March 2019, is a reusable bag program that facilitates community support with the goal to make a difference in the communities where shoppers live and work.

Starting October 1st, when you purchase a $3.00 GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag at the Shaw’s in Cedarville, $1 is donated to Wildlands Trust. Wildlands has already generated donations through this previous participation in this program.

Our goal is to sell 75 bags, equivalent to $75 raised.

We are confident that with the help of our dedicated supporters we can reach this goal.

We strongly encourage you to share this news with family and friends as well! The GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bags are located on displays around the store and at the checkout.

Participating location: Shaw's Cedarville 2260 State Road, Plymouth, MA
