The year 2010 marks the 20th year of the Farm & Natural Lands Trusts efforts to preserve critical agricultural and environmental lands in York County. This exciting presentation will cover what we’ve done, how we do it, what we’re up to in the future and how our efforts effect citizens and businesses in the area. It won’t be boring! FNLT board president Dave Davidson, FNLT legal counsel Tim Bupp and executive director Sean Kenny will bring a humorous and informative approach to how FNLT accomplishes the mission of preserving our farm and natural lands for future generations. With over 80 properties totaling close to 8,000 acres, chances are you’re enjoying the benefits of land preservation and you don’t even know it!
