Life-Long Love of the Land

An avid hiker with a passion for travel, Belchertown resident Helga Ragle cared deeply about the Pioneer Valley where she lived for most of her adult life. She often walked with her dogs at Amethyst Brook Conservation Area. Helga left a bequest to Kestrel Land Trust, creating a legacy that will help preserve the Valley’s forests and farmland for the benefit of future generations.
