Remembering Brian Rehrig

Brian Rehrig at an ALT Fun Day 2017
Brian helps out with taking visitors to Elizabeth Island during Spy Pond Fun Day in September 2017. Among his many contributions, Brian was instrumental in organizing the Campaign to Protect Elizabeth Island and the Land Trust’s 2010 purchase of the island for conservation and public enjoyment.

We are deeply saddened to report that Brian Rehrig passed away on January 21 after a long illness.

Celebrating Brian Rehrig on April 10

Brian was one of a small group who established the Land Trust in 1999 and he served as the treasurer and guiding light for more than 20 years. It is impossible to recount all the wisdom and expertise that he contributed to this organization, and to the promotion of land conservation and community service in Arlington and beyond.

We have lost a dear friend and advocate for open space preservation. Recently Brian focused tirelessly on efforts to protect the open space and wetlands on the Mugar property in East Arlington.

The Rehrig family has suggested that donations in Brian’s memory be made to the Arlington Land Trust Mugar Protection Fund. Those wishing to make a memorial donation will find the fund on the Join/Donate page. 

Brian’s obituary and other information are posted at rehrigs.com.
