The Stockbridge Land Trust lost a valued and dedicated leader with the passing of Shep Evans this last month. Shep was one of the founding members of the Land Trust, served for many years as a trustee and multiple terms as president.

Shep had a wealth of knowledge about the conservation of vulnerable and and environmentally sensitive areas in town. He documented the location and extent of vernal pools with Stockbridge and surrounding towns.  Shep’s extensive knowledge of ecology and environmental protection methods made him a valuable expert for the Land Trust.  He also worked closely with the town conservation commission, the regional conservation associations and the State and Federal departments of environmental management.
