Land
added to preservation
The Friends of the Oxbow Wildlife Refuge celebrated (see photos) at the
annual meeting Oct. 15. The reason? The purchase of 50 acres of land
from the Kristoff family, sold to the state for preservation. The
Lancaster Land Trust and the Friends of the Oxbow worked with the
family to keep the land in preservation.
