Local couple partners with area land conservancy to preserve the land they love

The protected portion of Kirk and Sheri’s property consists mostly of a wet meadow and some mature woodlands through which Duck Creek slowly meanders. Native plants are abundant, including seasonal Joe Pye weed, boneset, asters, tall blue lobelia, jack-in-the-pulpit and white turtlehead. The 5-acre conservation easement parcel is part of a larger, mixed-wetland complex.
