Why is cleaning up New England’s waterways important to you?

Justin Boyan
What inspired you to first give to CLF? Although I grew up in a land of malls and cul-de-sacs in suburban Baltimore, my parents raised me to love nature. As a political science professor, my dad always wanted to engage with the political process and the law in combatting environmental degradation. When my parents retired… Continue reading Justin Boyan
