The Galien Meadow Conservation Easement covers 33 acres. The property, owned by Diane DeWitt, was acquired nearly twenty years ago as a place offering solitude and peace for this retired special education teacher. Diane was attracted to the property for its rolling terrain and small pond. Historically a portion of the property was farmed, then Diane enrolled one of the fields into the Conservation Reserve Program. The permanent grass cover has reduced soil erosion on the steep slopes, and provided wonderful wildlife habitat. Deer, fox, turkeys, and ducks can be found living on the property, as well as a pair of sand hill cranes that live nearby.
