Don was a member of the Board of Directors of
Boston Food Co-op, a.k.a Harvest Supermarkets, for 25 years.

Don has been growing ferns since 1980, and doing field identification since 1991.
He reset the fern labels at the Garden In The Woods in Framingham,
and has led classes and field trips since 1998
for the New England Wild Flower Society
with co-teacher Ray Abair of Middleboro MA.
Don and Ray have found uncommon ferns and presented specimens
to the New England Botanical Club collection at the Asa Gray Herbarium, among others.
Beginning in August 1999 they conducted a census of pteridophytes at the Wachusett Mountain Reservation
and found 7 previously unreported taxa, including one county record.
Don has reported findings to the Natural Heritage programs of Massachusetts and New Hampshire,
the M.D.C., Allston-Brighton Greenspace Alliance, Newton Land Management Committee,
Sudbury Valley Trustees, Nature Conservancy, Trustees of Reservations,
and the Bermuda Natural History Museum.
Don thinks there are as many fern species in his garden as almost any in Massachusetts.
