Hermit donates Florida marsh to Theodore Roosevelt Preserve
Willie Browne, a reclusive resident near Jacksonville, Florida, donates his 361 acre marsh and palmetto land to the Nature Conservancy for a wildlife refuge valued at about 1 million dollars. The Theodore Roosevelt Preserve will protect habitat for species like the bald eagle and yellow crowned night heron. Browne, a lifelong hermit with no formal schooling or marriage, lived largely in isolation since infancy and never left the land except for rare visits. He cited a Bible saying as his reason for the gift, expressing a wish to see the land protected rather than remain private.
