Remembering Helen Bethell – A Conservation Warrior
Helen Bethell was a driving force for conservation and open space in Manchester and Essex, and led the Manchester Essex Conservation Trust efforts for decades. Even after her retirement, she continued to educate us and campaign for land defense and conservation. At our 2026 Annual Meeting, our Board of Directors gave a moving tribute to Helen’s memory.
The MECT family extends our sincere condolences to her family and community. Read her obituary here.
