Katrina Van Dusen has been named Freeport’s 2021 citizen of the year. The award, in part, came as recognition for Van Dusen’s decades-long work in local land conservation. Before retiring last summer, Van Dusen served 10 years as the Freeport Conservation Trust executive director. Nearly 260 acres in town were acquired for public access and preservation during her tenure, and from when she first got involved as a board member around 1993, that acreage is in the range of 1,280.
