Nearly 200 friends and local stakeholders in conservation gathered at the Bucktoe Creek Preserve on Sept. 15 to celebrate the life and legacy of Tom Brokaw, a long-time conservationist who along with his wife, Margaretta dedicated nearly 300 acres in Kennett Township that helped establish the preserve. Brokaw, who died on June 4, 2023, worked tirelessly with environmental organizations and land trusts to develop trail systems and environmental education opportunities.
