Description:
In September 2005, DNRT acquired 39 acres from Frances Durant, thus doubling the size of our Little River Watershed Reserve and completing the protection of a contiguous block of 350 acres of woodlands and wetlands at the head of Little River.  Click here for more information about this large protected natural area.
