Thank you Michael Polemis and Judy Grunberg

After a combined 33 years on CLC’s Board of Trustees, Michael Polemis and Judy Grunberg are stepping down. Thanks to them we have more wildlife habitat, more places to connect with the natural world, and more working farms. Everyone who lives in or visits Columbia County is better off as a result of the time, talent, and resources they have devoted to our work.
