Ed Becker, President and Executive Director
Essex County Greenbelt Association
Thurs., June 28th at 7 p.m.

“A Journey through Cape Ann’s Geologic History to its Present Day Landscape”
The talk will describe how our geologic history over millions of years shaped the Cape Ann landscape we know today. It will also show how human history has influenced the landscape, from colonial times to the current impacts of climate change and sea level rise. The talk will conclude with a brief overview of land conservation in the U.S, which has been described as one of America’s greatest ideas.
Ed Becker is president of Essex County Greenbelt, a regional land trust, where he’s been involved in several hundred projects saving over 17,000 acres of land.
Ed has been at the heart of Greenbelt’s growth and land conservation success for over thirty years. During this time, he has led the transformation of Greenbelt from a small three-person operation to its current position as one of the most effective and highly-respected land conservation trusts in the country. Ed’s exceptional abilities, integrity and passion for conserving land and nature define him.
