Gathering Waters Conservancy is proud to present the 2009 Harold “Bud” Jordahl Award to not one, but four inspiring individuals whose actions led to the permanent protection of Seldom Seen Farm, the setting of Ben Logan’s book, The Land Remembers. Logan donated a conservation easement on the farm that will keep it available for farming and fulfill his dream of keeping the landscape of his childhood preserved. The easement was made possible through the instrumental support and commitment of his longtime friends Paul and Kathy Fairchild, and fellow Wisconsin author Peter Annin.
“Paul and Kathy’s commitment to both the land and to Mr. Logan’s own interests and needs made this project possible. They helped mobilize and organize the various parties that helped determine the most effective and efficient means to realize Mr. Logan’s vision.”
