National Audubon Mourns Former President and Conservationist
Reprinted from Audubon Newswire
Auduboners nationwide are mourning the passing of Peter Berle, President of the National Audubon Society from 1985-1995, who died November 1, as a result of injuries from an accident on his New England farm two months earlier.
"Peter Berle led Audubon during an important time in the environmental movement," said Audubon CEO and President, John Flicker, who succeeded Berle in 1995. "Peter made sure our voice in Washington was strong during critical debates on legislation like the Clean Air Act and on important conservation programs like the national wetlands protection effort." |
