Several weeks ago, Lew Lasher spoke of the proposed development of Trapp land. A pertinent letter from the Stowe Conservation Commission is printed in the current Stowe Reporter. <full text below> http://www.stowereporter.com/Sections/Opinion/Letters/completeletterslisting.html#letter1 or: http://tinyurl.com/5poc6 - Bruno Adams parcel protection urged To the Editor, The Stowe Conservation Commission believes the portion of the Trapp Family Lodge land holdings within the Ranch Valley area, the former Adams property, has many significant recreational, historical, and ecological values. The property is one of the last large privately owned undeveloped land parcels in Stowe. The parcel is adjacent to thousands of acres of protected land and would make a tremendous addition to Stowe’s natural legacy. The entire community has an interest in what the von Trapp family decides to do with this precious resource. It has come to our understanding that there is a possibility that this property might be conserved through a collaborative effort among local conservation groups and interested persons. The Conservation Commission strongly endorses these efforts and would gladly lend assistance towards the goal of permanently protecting the property. We would like to commend Johannes von Trapp for his willingness to listen to, and work with, community leaders on this endeavor. We believe that if all members of a community can work together in the spirit of mutual trust and cooperation, we can accomplish great things. Preserving this parcel of land can be one of them.
