In 2007, Margery Feldberg set out to protect 400 acres of land next to her farm in New Milford, Connecticut, a New England town on the banks of the Housatonic River in the western half of the state. She eventually partnered with her neighbor and what's now called the Northwest Connecticut Land Conservancy (NCLC), a conservation organization dedicated to safeguarding natural and working lands in Northwest Connecticut. Though she had spent decades in land development - including as a founding partner of the largest commercial real estate developer in Massachusetts - the experience of working to protect open space rather than developing it sparked a genuine interest in conservation.
