Cheshire Newcomer Fills Long Vacant Woodlands Seat

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
CHESHIRE, Mass. — Town newcomer Sara Lacombe has been appointed as the town's representative for the Woodlands Partnership of Northwest Massachusetts. 
 
The program is a "homegrown effort" dedicated to conserving forests and enhancing the re­gion's rural, land-based economy across 21 towns in Northern Berkshire and Western Franklin counties. 
 
The town's seat has been vacant for more than four years. 
 
"When I heard that there was this opportunity and it had been vacant for a while. I'm here to just represent the town," Lacombe said. 
 
The town has quickly found a place in Lacombe's heart since she moved there in December of last year, inspiring her to do what she can to give back to the community.
 
"[The Woodlands Partnership] is a really nice mix of conservation, environment, and rural economic development," she said …
 
"I love the outdoors. We live on Notch Road and couldn't have found a better place to call home."
