Land Conservancy promotes Dave Prosser

The Pound Ridge Land Conservancy has announced the promotion of Dave Prosser to director of land stewardship. 

Since joining the PRLC in April 2023, Prosser has demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to PRLC’s work in land conservation and environmental education, the group said.

In his new position, Prosser will lead stewardship and grant writing for PRLC, manage all volunteer programs, and oversee the care and maintenance of 20 preserves with over 12 miles of trails. 

“In less than two years with PRLC, Dave has grown tremendously in the scope of his work he is doing for us as he extends his already-strong skill set with experience in Pound Ridge,” said Jack Wilson, president of the group’s board. “We rely on Dave’s leadership and judgment in areas far beyond his initial responsibilities and we want his title to reflect the expansion of his role with PRLC.”

Prosser is enthusiastic about his new role.

“I am honored to step into this leadership position and am eager to continue working with our dedicated board and the community to promote environmental stewardship and land conservation,” he said.

The promotion comes as the land conservancy celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of land preservation and environmental advocacy.

A magna cum laude graduate of the University of Memphis, Jackson earned a master’s degree in English from the University of Illinois. 

After retirement she became board chair of the nonprofit Neighbors Link in Mount Kisco, which supports the healthy integration of immigrants.

“She believed deeply that all people deserve to live with dignity and respect,” the family said.

She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Kenneth T. Jackson, her son, Kevan Parish (Karla) Jackson, and two grandchildren. She was predeceased by her son Kenneth Gordon Jackson.

A service will be held Friday, Jan. 31, noon, at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, located at 85 East Main St., Mount Kisco.
