and its watershed connection. He applies his
career experience as a teacher to educate the
public about the special qualities of plants
and animals that inhabit the watershed. Recently, the Alliance accepted a 58-acre land
donation in the south county. Gary comments,
“There should be more places where we can
walk wherever we want and go bicycling.” He
points to the Wolf Creek Trail as a great example of this. “The Roy Peterson Preserve is a
place that we are keeping more secluded,” he
says. This was a goal that the family had for
the land when they donated it.
