We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Ron Rolleri, a vital member of our board and a cherished mentor and friend to so many in our area and beyond. Ron is leaving behind a profound legacy of dedication to the environment and an enduring kindness. Ron's insightful guidance and strategic thinking significantly shaped our council, and his genuine warmth deeply enriched our community. In honor of Ron's dedication for conservation and mentoring young people starting out in their life, we are establishing a memorial fund to support interns and continue his inspiring legacy. Let's come together to remember Ron and uphold the legacy of his life's work in conservation.
