Dr. Frank C. Reed died on October 9, 2021 at the age of 77. Dr. Reed taught science at Kent State University, and then moved to Vermont Law School, where he taught and co-authored Environmental Law for Non-Lawyers. In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s Dr. Reed, working as a consultant to New England Forestry Foundation, helped to raise millions from foundations and individuals to purchase two of the largest working forest conservation easements in the U.S. Both easements are located in northern Maine. Frank, with NEFF, teamed with the UMaine School of Forest Resources to design a satellite to ground easement monitoring system, considered by major conservation organizations to be highly innovative, cost-efficient, and the first of its kind in the U.S.
