"What Marian has brought to Westchester County is far greater environmental awareness," said Oreon Sandler, former president of FCWC, who has taken over as CWCWC's first executive director.
"While her primary focus has been on protecting the Croton watershed," he explained, "she has also devoted extensive time and effort - as well as her unmatched expertise -- to many other Westchester environmental issues.
Until recently, for instance, she served on the County's Land Use/SEQRA committee, and her accomplishments have been recognized not only by FCWC but also by Riverkeeper, the Sierra Club, and many other environmental groups."
As president of CWCWC, she fought hard and usually successfully to maintain water quality in the Croton watershed and its distribution system, spending a lot of effort to keep northern Westchester from being sold to the highest bidder and paved over.
"That battle continues and will be her legacy," Sandler added.
