Description

Located at the headwaters of Glendale Creek, this 28 acre property, historically known as the Jackson Farm, includes both forest and open fields. The conservation easement removed all but one residential development right from the property and was generously donated to the Land Trust by Suzannah Dalzell.

Suzannah purchased the property in order to protect its wetlands, forests, and the quality of the salmon-spawning waters of Glendale Creek.
