REAP grant aids protection of 110 acres in Marion woods project
Marion wins a 125000 REAP grant toward protecting 110 acres known as Faulkes Heritage Woods or the 30th Street Woods south of the Marion bypass. The grant covers about half of the 256000 needed, with private donations and a Hall-Perrine Foundation match bringing total to around 226000. The land, purchased from Alice Faulkes in 1920, will receive a conservation easement and be kept as a natural area for hiking birding and environmental education.
