HAROLD E. GREGG
Harold Edward Gregg, former head of the Marin Conservation League, died Tuesday in Nevada City.
The 73-year-old conservationist had a heart attack in the home he had recently completed in the Sierra foothills.
Gregg was born in Petaluma. He received a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of California at Berkeley and an education degree from Columbia University in New York City.
He was a teacher in Sonoma County and supervised schools there and on the East Coast. He wrote a book on art education.
He also worked for the Marin County Planning Department in the 1940s.
He and his first wife, Frances, ran Forest Farm and other Marin summer camps for children for 25 years. They were married for 41 years before their divorce.
He began working with the Marin Conservation League in 1966 and served as its president. He retired as executive director in 1973. He moved to Southern California and began working for the Nature Conservancy.
He had just completed building his own home on 10 acres near Nevada City.
He is survived by his wife, Gertrude Gregg of Nevada City; four daughters, Chloe MacDonald of Golden, Colo., Susan Conard of Chico, Louise Gregg of Tomales and Linda Gregg of Amherst, Mass.; and six grandchildren.
The family prefers memorial contributions to the Marin Conservation League.
