Brian Shupe, Executive Director Vermont Natural Resources Council, speaks about the conservation plans for the farmland and scenic views off of exit 4 in Randolph Center. Sam Sammis sold 149 acres that he had previously tried to develop to The Castanea Foundation who intends to preserve it as agricultural land. If the Preservation Trust of Vermont can raise $1 million by June 15th they will purchase the final 22 acres ending any development plans for the land. (Herald / Ben DeFlorio)
