Thayer ’77 Preserves Farmland
Another Williston Northampton family appeared on the cover of the Daily Hampshire Gazette today!
Richard Thayer, Jr. ’77 P’05 ’08 has conserved 38 acres of farmland off Hocakanum Road in Hadley, parts of which have been in his family since 1747. Amherst-based Kestrel Land Trust will maintain the land under an Agricultural Preservation Restriction.
“We feel the land was given to us and we are the caretakers,” said Thayer. “It’s nice to feel that this prime farmland will stay in agriculture forever.”
“This move protects the Thayer farm for future generations,” said Kristin DeBoer, executive director of the Kestrel Land Trust. “And it could help to inspire other landowners in Hadley and South Hadley to look at the historic landscape value of their properties, because the grant provides cash incentives to conserve woodlands and farmland.”
