About two years ago, the Town of Truro met at Town Meeting and voted to spend $2 million dollars to preserve a prominent piece of property known as Poor's Hill. This glacial dome sits proudly near the mouth of the Pamet River. Fearing its development, the Truro Conservation Trust, the Truro Open Space Committee and the Poor family worked together to ensure that the proeprty would be preserved forever. Brenda Boelyn was instrumental in this effort and her work was celebrated at the dedication event.
