It is with sadness that we let you know that Doree Cox died on March 14 at her Rensselaer Plateau home in the company of her loving daughters Chere Perrone and Karen Cox. She was a long time Board member and later volunteer of the Rensselaer Land Trust. Spending years on the outings committee, she helped coordinate and research some of the most spectacular historical hikes such as the Streeter Centennial hike, and the Albany Rd. hike with Warren Broderick. She was always there to meet and greet new hikers, bringing many new members to the Land Trust community. She took a special interest in the development of the Rensselaer Plateau Alliance and shared her knowledge of old roads and history with all of us. After living, skiing, hiking and paddling most of her life on the plateau it was her strong hope that this forest would be preserved.
Missed by all of us she had a glorious day for the last hike.
Rensselaer Land Trust has received a $5,000 grant from the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) in support its RBC Blue Water Project.
The RBC Blue Water Project is a wide-ranging, multi-year program to help foster a culture of water stewardship. Since lack of access to clean water is considered to be one of the major threats to human health and economic development around the world, RBC is working to create a "blue water future" of sustainable water resources worldwide. The first phase of the RBC Blue Water Project is a grant program of $50 million over ten years.
"We will make information on water sources easily available to anyone with internet access, increasing awareness about the importance of water resources and how to keep water clean," Nick Conrad, President of Rensselaer Land Trust, said. "We could not accomplish our mission without the support of companies like RBC who share in our beliefs about the value of protecting nature's most precious resource."
