March 2011: The Kinne Brook Valley

Kinne Brook Valley landowners have worked together over the past 15 years to conserve their land and ensure the entire area stretching between two state wildlife preserves would remain open agricultural land and protected woodlands. We sat down with one of those landowners, Paul Strasburg, to discuss how the neighbors worked together and learned how to protect their land. The interview can be seen on this short (4 min) video below. Please view the video on YouTube by clicking the photo below or the link below it.
