Link and Learn: A gift of land for Earth Day

I was sent a media release package this morning that seemed timely and pretty darn appropriate for tomorrow’s Earth Day.

Part of it follows:

“The Thames Talbot Land Trust is marking Earth Day this year with the creation of a new nature preserve.

Tiedje Woods is a 15 acre forest near Hungry Hollow in North Middlesex that lies within the Ausable River Valley. Tiedje Woods is a gift from John and Dorothy Tiedje of Bright’s Grove.

The Tiedjes are avid naturalists who have cared for the Woods for decades and now want to ensure that it is protected forever by entrusting it to the Thames Talbot Land Trust.”

“If you love nature then you have to protect the land,” explains Don Gordon, Executive Director of the Trust. “I can’t think of a more enduring tribute to Earth Day than the gift of land. Simply put - nothing outlasts land.”

Link and learn, I say.
