Presented by Wellesley Conservation Land Trust (WCLT)
Thursday, September 25: 7:00-8:30 PM
Wellesley Free Library, Wakelin Room
The land that is Guernsey Sanctuary, the largest of WCLT’s 14 properties, has been many things over time: an enormous glacier; a woodland; an estate, amusement park and “hygienic farm” built by an eccentric sewing industry magnate; a family home; and a conservation property, among others. Join Alisa Fine and a panel of 3 experts as they explore these stories and discuss how interconnectedness across time results in the sanctuary we see today.
Moderator: Alisa Fine, WCLT Board Member and recipient of a Community Fund for Wellesley grant to research the stories of Guernsey Sanctuary.
Panelists: Chris Crowley, geology walk leader and WCLT Treasurer; Gloria Greis, Needham History Center and Museum; and Lisa Moore, Wellesley Natural Resources Commission.
WCLT will host a guided public walk of Guernsey Sanctuary later in the fall.
