NEWLT would like to pay our respects to Joe Torres and offer our condolences to our partners at the Cofrin Center.

Joe was instrumental in organizing the annual To***co Blessing at Wequiock Creek Natural Area. He was a frequent presence at community events throughout the region, including many of the events where NEWLT also went to table and share about conservation. Perhaps above all else, he reminded all of us all that land preservation and restoration is incomplete without the continuation of culture and tradition.
