This is amazing! Please, all supporters of Five Acre Woods, help us save more forest !
Exciting news! The City of LFP has an opportunity to purchase 2.43 acres of forest land adjacent to the beautiful Five Acre Woods park! A show of public support is needed to urge the Council to approve the acquisition -- a rare opportunity to secure more mature forest for future park land.
