CONSERVATION CHAMPIONS
Those of us who are drawn to the land share a kinship that is celebrated in our summer issue. Take, for instance, The Conservation Fund, which has now protected more than 1 million acres of working forestland. CEO Larry Selzer says their work has just begun. His new goal? Protecting 5 million acres. “That’s what drives us. That’s what gets us up in the mornings — that urgency,” he says.
This spring, Red Emmerson planted his 300 millionth seedling. Yet his focus is on the future, not the past. “The trees we plant today are a legacy for future generations,” Red says.
And be sure to page through our feature stories on two of the nation’s top sporting properties, Llangollen in the Virginia hunt country and Fort Pierce, home of some of the best turkey hunting in America.
