There is an awful lot of volunteer work that quietly goes on behind the scenes. This page is dedicated to those acts of donated time and effort that many people put in on behalf of your township.

The Bristol Buck Has Arrived!
The Bristol Buck will now reside in our Town Park, thanks to our contributing residents and friends of Bristol. We were overwhelmed by the genuine generosity of all who contributed. Over $5,000 in donations have been received. This will allow for proper landscaping and enclosures fitting this magnificent animal. We plan to store our deer this winter, but if you have an opportunity, please visit Bristol Buck located near the Town Hall. A dedication will be planned for June.

It Wasn't Easy
The Bristol Buck was hunted down and captured in front of Canandaigua National Bank in Canandaigua. Today it was returned to its natural habitat. Here are some photos of this daring wildlife rescue.

We had to calm the animal before we could transport it in order to ensure our own(and the animal's) saftey.

The animal is returned safely to its natural habitat.
This is the team of skilled wildlife preservationists that saved our bucky.
The preservation of our local history relies on local volunteers. The two young men pictured here spent some time at the South Hill Cemetery to place the recently aquired tombstone on the grave of one of Bristol's Revolutionary War veteran's buried there. The two volunteers for this project were Shane Herrgessell and Mike Miller. They also cleared the site and set up tombstones that had fallen over. The town of Bristol is grateful for their efforts
The U.S. Veteran's Service Agency assisted in the aquisition of the headstone and it was stored over the winter until the ground conditions were suitable for the completion of this project. The grave is that of a Revolutionary War veteran who was buried in the South Hill Cemetery in 1814. The stone replaces the original which had fallen into disrepair. A committee was formed, led by our local Town Historian, Helen Fox to aquire the stone. The project has now reached completion, thanks to these two young men, and the Town of Bristol thanks all who were involved.
