JOSHUA'S TRUST:Northeastern Connecticut's steward of4,500 acres prepares for the next SO years

摘要

Agnes Fuller's cow pasture on a remote piece of farmland in Chaplin is a perfect example of the conservation and history mission of Joshua's Trust, a prominent organization that celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.Each day, Mrs. Fuller, who managed her farm until well into her 90s, dragged her painful knees up a steep wooded hill to feed her cows. So when she neared the end of her life, she wanted to make sure her 12-acre pasture would remain in its natural state, even though its former bovine inhabitants had long since moved on.
