I am excited about the synergy of Farrington Foundation's oral history and conservation web radio projects. Farrington Foundation has been involved in land trust, public and private land issues and stories of important people. Hearing their voices on the Friends of Farrington website is very meaningful to understanding who these people really are and the wonderful places they are protecting. Thank you to Farrington Foundation for your pioneering work in telling the stories of conservation pioneers, leaders, local and national people and places.
