The Morrows
The Post-Morrow Foundation was born out of Thomas and Elisabeth Morrow's love of the rural countryside. They envisioned the creation of woodlands, meadows and streams as wildlife sanctuaries for all to enjoy . It was also important to them to stem the tide of suburban encroachment in the Brookhaven area. Since it's establishment in 1969 the trustees of the foundation, along with community support, have endeavored to fulfill their dreams.
