FOR
LEADERSHIP IN FARMLAND PRESERVATION
The Board of Commissioners hereby commends Robert P. and Aubrey C. Nutter and
Family of Mapleview Farm for your leadership in farmland preservation in Orange County.
You have exhibited foresight and generosity in the establishment of a conservation plan for
Mapleview Farm and its designation as a Voluntary Agricultural District.
By recognizing the unique agricultural and scenic attributes of your beloved Mapleview
Farm, your family took the action necessary to ensure its preservation, both as a working
farm and a beautiful scenic vista that is treasured by all residents of Orange County.
You were keen to recognize that significant and tangible opportunities exist to help farmers
keep their land in family hands and ensure that future generations may reap the rewards of
the fanning life and its attendant benefits to the community.
Thanks to your magnanimous deeds, Mapleview Farm will serve as an example for other
owners of land possessing valuable environmental and cultural resources. In your wisdom
and prudence in protecting Mapleview Farm, you have established a model of land
stewardship in which Orange County citizens can be justifiably proud.
This the 18th day of February, 1997.
