| Now that
their sons are grown up with families of their own, the Bonta's found
reaching out to the community was an important component to their
land preservation. They are unique landowners especially for this
day in age when people are often working to block land use on private
property. Instead, they graciously provide a place for people from
the community to take nature walks and develop an appreciation for
the forest. |
Bruce created numerous projects
as a gesture of goodwill to the community. A nature trail that winds
up the hollow is stocked with photo copies of trails at the sign board
he made and there are even some benches along the way for those needing
a place to stop and observe. Bruce even established a partnership
with a select group of hunters that share their immense respect for
the land in order to manage the large deer herd. |
