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.

Two Lewisboro residents were arrested and seven “ghost guns” were seized recently after an investigation by the Westchester County Police Department’s narcotics unit and supported by the Lewisboro Police Department.

Two men, 46, and 42, of Goldens Bridge, were charged with multiple felonies, including second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

The fourth-degree weapons charge is a misdemeanor, the rest are felonies. The controlled substance charge also is a felony.

One of the men, a previously convicted felon, and the other man were found in possession of seven personally made firearms, a quantity of cocaine and unfinished firearm frames, police said. Investigators determined they had been utilizing a 3D printer to manufacture unserialized firearms and modifying flare guns into operable weapons, investigators said. 

A search warrant was executed at their residence about 8 a.m., Tuesday, Feb. 4, and they were taken into custody. The two were arraigned and sent to the Westchester County Jail in lieu of $3,500 bail.

The investigation, which is continuing, was conducted with additional assistance from the Westchester County Police Special Response Team, Emergency Service Unit, Forensic Investigations Unit, and Hazardous Devices Unit, and the State Police Special Investigations Unit, FBI Westchester Safe Streets Task Force, Queens County District Attorney’s Office and the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office.
