Roger McRoberts says farewell as he departs his post as Conservation Director

INLT conservation director Roger McRoberts at work visiting a new conservation easementIt’s with somewhat of a heavy heart that I am leaving Inland Northwest Land Trust.

The past two years have been both rewarding and productive and I am very proud of my accomplishments here. During this time I have met and worked with many very special people who are both generous and inspiring.

The Inland Northwest Land Trust is an exceptional organization that works with amazing people to protect their land and keep the Inland Northwest a wonderful place to live, work and play for future generations. Working with the land trust I have seen the very best places in the area and have found great satisfaction in protecting them.

I wish the very best to the staff, volunteers, landowners, committee members and the Board of Directors that together make protecting the natural lands, waters and working farms and forest of the Inland Northwest their passion.

Sincerely,
Roger McRoberts

Forests and meadows will remain intact

Cathy and Alfred Anderson donated a conservation easement on their farm and forest land near Colbert.When Cathy Bond Anderson and Alfred Anderson bought their land in 1991, Colbert was a rural community. But as more and more people are moving into the area, they saw nearby farms and forests being cut up into residential developments. “We saw the inability of county government to protect open space,” said Alfred. “So we decided to do it ourselves.”
