Foundation and Naturalists to build fund

Two local organizations are teaming up hoping to leave a green legacy. The Community Foundation and the Field Naturalists are working together to build a 60 thousand dollar endowment fund. The Foundation's Paul Wolfe says the money will provide resources to preserve nature sites. He says the Field Naturalists have quite a bit of land in the area and they need the funds to help maintain the land. Wolfe says the money would be used to make sure that things like fences are in good shape and that paths are well taken care of. It's hoped 20 thousand dollars of the fund can be raised from the community.
