Mackie leaves a historic legacy in the community
“Under Andrew’s leadership, the Conservancy has gone from a part time organization with an annual budget of $35,000 to a recognized regional leader in the field of working land, water and wildlife habitat conservation and restoration … it is at Andrew’s feet that the majority of the kudos are to be laid…his knowledge of trends and changes in the land conservation community, his ability to forge and sustain relationships, his sheer hard work and tenacity are the principal reasons this community can count on a significant number of its working lands, view sheds, riparian areas and wild life corridors remaining free from over-development now, and in perpetuity. His vision and work ethic will leave its mark on our landscape, community and economy for generations to come.”
