West Pikeland Begins a
New Era of Land Preservation
With the passage of the Open Space
Preservation Tax referendum in 2007, West Pikeland now
has a stable
source of funding for conservation initiatives. As the Township-appointed
Open Space Advisors, our role is to assess
opportunities and recommend
priorities for the expenditure of open space funds, plus meet
with landowners, map properties, coordinate
transactions and
develop grant requests for matching funds.
Additionally,
we continue our efforts to promote conservation in
West Pikeland by creating a
two-way dialogue with residents on local land use issues; expanding our
base of members and volunteers; and continuing
educational outreach through workshops and partnerships
with other conservation organizations.
With the Open
Space funds dedicated exclusively to land and easement
purchases, WPLT's initiatives continue to be funded
almost entirely by private donations. We invite you to
learn more about our all-volunteer organization and to join us in our efforts to
preserve the natural beauty, rich resources, and rural character of West Pikeland
Township.
Thank you for
your interest!
Sincerely,
Curt Grogan
President, WPLT Board of Directors |
