information to help understand
and protect this land
Understanding nature is as important as caring about it. It is hard, maybe impossible, to love a place without wanting to know more about it.
Over the years, a number of naturalists and scientists have been active volunteers working for the Land Trust and for the land. They have contributed information from their areas of specialization that we can share with community members below.
