Aton Forest’s open house on Oct. 20 was a celebration of the conservation easement on 1,097 acres that Aton Forest has granted to the Norfolk Land Trust. Signing the easement documents are Executive Director John Anderson of Aton Forest, left, and President Bill Brodnitzki of Norfolk Lad Trust. Special pens were created for the occasion, made of chestnut wood from Aton Forest and engraved with the date of the grant and the names of the signatories.
