Recently, the Orenda Wildlife Land Trust entered into an agreement with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) to conduct habitat work on their property which is adjacent on the east side to the town-owned property of discussion. Since the property is town-owned, it is not eligible for NRCS funding. As a result, the Partners for Fish & Wildlife are prepared to fund the project.
