This 45-acre property includes lush woodlands, wetland habitat, and a creek. It was donated to The Wildlife Land Trust as a permanent wildlife sanctuary, as its owner, Ernan Roman, wished to permanently preserve the integrity of the ecosystems on the land. In addition to providing homes for many bird and duck species, the sanctuary is also home to deer, fish, turtles, and various frog species. The many creatures seeking refuge there from hunting on surrounding properties will also benefit from the land's designation as a permanent sanctuary.

The Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust holds the title to this sanctuary.  That means the Wildlife Land Trust is responsible for all property taxes and maintenance costs for the property -- every year, forever.  In addition periodic inspections are made to ensure that the wildlife habitat remains in good condition.  These inspections, and the handling of any damage or destruction, cost heavily in professional staff time and travel expenses.

WLT has promised to keep this property as a sanctuary forever -- and that promise will be kept.  If you can help with the cost of stewardship for this and the other properties WLT protects, please donate here.
