Lila Wilde Berle with her painted turtle
By David Scribner
GREAT BARRINGTON— Lila Wilde Berle, dressed in her trademark jeans and sweatshirt, presented two items to the Board of Selectmen at its most recent meeting.
The first was a baby painted turtle that she had discovered last year while walking the Konkapot Farm property along Monument Valley Road that has been in her family for five generations. The turtle, she advised Select Board Chairman Walter F. Atwood III, was a symbol of what she described as the farm’s “relatively pristine ecosystem” that supports an abundance of wildlife and the kind of environment that is under pressure from development.
“I love the Berkshires landscape and wildlife,” she said. “But I see it fast disappearing, into commercial strips and new homes, with many MacMansions that are more than any person needs.”.....for the full story pick up this week’s Berkshire Record at a newsstand or subscribe by calling 413-528-5380 ext. 29.
