Chicopee Conservation Commission
Fournier Named Conservationist
Springfield Sunday Republican, Springfield, Mass., July 7, 1968
CHICOPEE - Leslie A. Fournier of 49 Dewey St., has been named to the Conservation Commission by Mayor Demers. His term will expire in 1970 and no aldermanic confirmation is required for the appointment.
Fournier is a member of the Massachusetts Audubon Society and a volunteer member of the Audubon Emergency Committee. He is employed by A.G. Spalding & Bros., Inc.
He is married to the former Constance Godek of Chicopee. They have one son, Thomas.
Les and Connie shared a love for the nature. Through activities with the Audubon Society, Conservation Commission, and other groups they did their part to protect the environment and promote conservation.
In the Conservation Commission Les had helped in the efforts to have city owned land off Slate Road, known as the "Buena Vista Lot", designated as conservation land. Large bird feeders were built and placed in these woods during the winter months. I recall many times going with my dad to bring large burlap sacks of bird seed to fill these feeders. << Return to Family Life
