New Conservation Fund

We are honored to announce the establishment of the CPF Agricultural Lands & Heritage Conservation Fund in memory of our cherished colleague and friend, William A. Wester.

The fund will support CPF’s ongoing work to conserve agricultural lands and agricultural heritage—about which Will was deeply passionate.

Will served on CPF’s Board of Directors and its Architectural Preservation and Land Use Committee from May 2022 until his passing in August of 2026. 

His knowledge, commitment, and appreciation for the agricultural landscapes and heritage of our community made a lasting contribution to CPF’s conservation efforts.

We are grateful for Will’s service, friendship, and enduring commitment to protecting the places that make our community special.
