Two Brunswick nonprofits receive record gifts from estate of long-time local

TIMES RECORD • December 30, 2022

Curtis Memorial Library and Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust (BTLT) each recently received significant bequests from the estate of long-time Brunswick resident, Wallace Pinfold, who died in November 2021. These gifts – the largest in the history of both organizations – will enhance the endowments of both the library and land trust for generations to come. Pinfold was a member of the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust for 17 years, where he was motivated by the opportunity to conserve land in his community. Inspired by the environmentalism of his father, local veterinarian Dr. Russel Pinfold, Wallace’s early involvement with BTLT included supporting the conservation of Crystal Spring Farm. Pinfold’s bequest will ensure that BTLT’s endowment will provide funds on an annual basis to support stewardship needs.
