- Nicole West, project intern, was hired in June 2005 by the Town of Sterling Conservation Commission to help make the recently acquired 30 acre parcel accessible to the public. Nicole West conducted site analysis, collaborated on parking and access issues, designed and flagged routes for new trails, created an interpretive map and guide (still under construction while trail names are finalized) and submitted designs for a vista terrace and trail head plantings. Therefore, Nicole West learned a great deal about the project that way, especially from my liaison on the Conservation Commission, Sue Valentine.
- Fundraising documents by the TPL
- Several articles by Faith Mayer in The Landmark, a local online newspaper (because the articles are no longer published, I did not include a link above.) Nicole West printed these articles in 2005 and no longer know the date of their publication. The titles are:
- Land Trust to Assist With Rittenhouse Proposal
- Rittenhouse Land Purchase Approved
- Sterling Lands Major Grant for Rittenhouse Purchase
- Town Eyes Purchase of Kendall Hill Parcel
- Proponents Pitching for Rittenhouse Purchase
- In May 2007 Nicole West conducted interviews with:
