When Mr. Jacobs also heard from Jonathan Sperling ’57W about how the Academy was progressing, he looked forward to getting involved. It also didn’t hurt that his mother was still in town, a personal aspect that helped make his decision easier. “At the time, I didn’t realize how much we could get done, the challenges, thinking and hard work,” Mr. Jacobs said. He officially joined the Board in 2002 — the same year Rodney LaBrecque began his tenure as Head of School — and became the Chair in 2004. Throughout his tenure, Mr. Jacobs has seen an evolution within the styles of leadership and changes to the program, campus and student body. Through the work of Mr. Malley, Mr. LaBrecque and current Head of School Brian Easler, the high standards, for which WMA has always been known, have continued to rise. This in turn has impacted, and will continue When scott JacoBs ’75 reflects on his three siblings attending after.

  • Paper Monitoring Ecological Changes Following Historic Waterfront Rehabilitation and Wetland Restoration at Saugus Iron Works NH
    GWS2013 abstracts as of November 21, 2012 • Listed alphabetically by lead author / organizer Monitoring Ecological Changes Following Historic Waterfront Rehabilitation and Wetland Restoration at Saugus Iron Works NHS 5079 In 2008, Saugus Iron Works NHS (MA) completed a combined historic and ecological restoration. The project rehabilitated the culturally significant waterfront, recreated open-water in the historic turning basin, Paper and restored tidal mudflat and brackish wetlands along the Saugus River. The design included a comprehensive planning and environmental compliance strategy, and intensive pre- and post-restoration monitoring. Wetland vegetation, fish community, water quality, tidal regime, benthic invertebrates, and wildlife use will be monitored until 2018. The restored wetland is a low marsh-mud flat dominated by dwarf spikerush and frequented by foraging shorebirds. Fish transitioned from a freshwater to estuarine/brackish community dominated by killifish. Inundation by tidal estuarine water increased and water and sediment quality of the river improved. The restoration successfully removed invasive vegetation from the wetland and provided habitat for native wetland plants and shorebirds. The restoration and monitoring serve as a model for integrated historic and natural resource preservation. Value Project serves as a model for integrated historic and natural resource preservation. Outlines comprehensive proposition: planning and environmental compliance strategy involving multiple stakeholders.
