Conservation Heroics — and Patience — on Mt. MajForest Society Acquires KeyTrailhead Property

摘要

The Forest Society closed on the 72-acre property that is the gateway to thepopular hiking trails up Mt.Major in Alton in December.This parcel was part of thesuccessful "Everybody Hikes Mt.Vfajor" project of 2013-2014that resulted in the much quicker purchase of three other properties in the Mt. Major vicinity. Closing on this last key piece—the first tract entered by some 80,000 hikers annually—was delayed as the Forest Society worked through unanticipated title issues.
