The planet lost a creative action-oriented leader and advocate with Marshall's passing. As he lived fully it was a shock but not a surprise that Marshall Webb died while out on Lake Champlain enjoying an August day with his grandkids. Peach picking here was on his agenda for this week. Marshall was a champion for climate change action, carbon sequestration and a deeply committed lover and steward of the landscape, particularly Shelburne Farms. We had a day together here at Broad Reach Farm last October working on our landscape. He remarked that we did pretty good for a pair of oldsters. I honor Marshall and cherish good memories of our collaborations over two decades for the enrichment of the Shelburne Farms landscape.
