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.

The Fox Lane High School Brahms String Quartet, made up of Emma Chang (violin I), Liliana Kimble (violin II), Meghana Uday (viola) and Samuel Liu (cello), has been selected for the Chamber Music Society’s 41st annual “Young Musicians Concert” series regional concert. This performance is a semifinal round that provides students with the opportunity to be chosen to play at the final concert at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.

“Being selected as a performer at the annual ‘Young Musicians Concert’ at Lincoln Center is prestigious,” said Janine Bergamini, Fox Lane’s director of orchestras. “The panel of judges encompasses world-class musicians, making the process of selection highly competitive. These students are exceptional in talent, maturity, and commitment and are highly deserving of this honor.”

Kimble, a junior at FLHS who has been playing the violin for eight years, appreciates the experience of playing in small ensembles like this one.

“I enjoy playing in ensembles because everyone’s part is essential, and playing in a small group forces you to become more confident in your playing,” she said. “It also helps with leadership and listening skills.”

Uday, also a junior, said that being a musician has changed the way she thinks about creativity.

“Learning to interpret music has taught me how to think outside the box and express ideas in unique ways,” she said. “Excelling in music requires more than just technical skills; it’s about finding ways to bring emotion and meaning to each piece, which has helped me approach problems creatively in other areas of life. It’s also made me realize that there are many different ways to solve a problem or convey a message, both in music and beyond.”
