Ben Adamo is now a Conservancy board member, but he remembers his past relationship with Cache Creek and the site where the Nature Preserve now lies. Mr. Adamo’s first encounter with the Nature Preserve site was long before it was a preserve, perhaps before the area even needed preserving. He began his relationship with the site as a welder for the first company to mine the site.
