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.

Thomas Francis Tully died Feb. 6. He was 85. He was born in New York City on Aug. 13, 1939, to Patrick and Ellen Tully. He was the third of seven children.

Tully attended St. Joseph’s Elementary School in the Bronx, and Cathedral Prep in Manhattan for high school. He was the first of his Irish immigrant family to graduate college when he received a bachelor of arts in political science from Fordham University. 

Tully’s family said he was a lifelong learner and believed education was the key to a good life. He read the New York Times cover to cover every day of his adult life, and taught himself multiple foreign languages. 

Tully spent his entire career as a federal government employee, beginning with a job in the U.S. Postal Service to put himself through college. He went on to hold leadership positions in multiple agencies, culminating in his position as regional inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services. He retired with over 30 years of service.

Tully married Beverly (Kinkade) Tully in 1969 and had two children, Patricia and Liam. He was married a second time, to Diane Gennaro Tully in 1996, and spent almost 30 years traveling the world, discussing politics, attending Broadway shows and spending time with family and friends.

For 50 years, he played tennis multiple times per week and, his family said, cared deeply for his family and was overjoyed with his grandchildren. 

He is survived by his wife, Diane, his daughter, Patricia, his son, Liam, and three grandchildren and two step-grandchildren. He is also survived by two brothers, Martin and John, and his sister, Ellen, as well as several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, and siblings Mary Ann, Michael, and Patrick.
