Our second event in the GoFundMe for the Massachusetts Urban Conservancy is an interview with Don Sanders, founding donor for the land in Randolph. Don has patiently worked with us over the last year to get this nonprofit up and running. He believes in the mission of conservation and has generously pledged his family land for permanent conservation. We'll learn:

  • What the land means to Don and his family.
  • What attracted him to our purpose at MUC.
  • The value of leaving a legacy.
  • And more!

Attendees will leave feeling empowered to support MUC in our mission to set aside urban land for permanent conservation.

A small lot sits between two houses, with cars parked to either side. The lot is full of undergrowth and trees.
This lot is best set aside as managed green space in an environmental justice community, rather than cut for sprawled development.

Our interviewer will be Eric Weld, MassLandlords writer, journalist and editor but also President of the Massachusetts Urban Conservancy. Besides doing outstanding work writing for MassLandlords, Eric has been a lifetime advocate for a cleaner, wilder environment; a nature and adventure writer for more than 20 years; and a lover of and participant in nature and the outdoors since early childhood. This is why when we created MUC, Eric was a great choice to lead the new effort. Eric has circumnavigated the globe twice, lived on four continents, summitted Mt. Fuji, bicycled across the USA, and thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail. As a father of two, he also has personal interest in fortifying earth’s environment and livability for the sake of generations to come. Eric lives in Easthampton, Mass., in his idea of the perfect location: a wildlife preserve abutting his backyard and a bike path across the street.

Our guest speaker will be the founding donor for the Massachusetts Urban Conservancy, Don Sanders. Don is executor of the Sudnovsky 2019 Trust.
