Protected 5,629 acres of lands that were at risk of incompatible development adjacent to ten ARNG installations. • This eliminated the risk of 57 single family homes within the installation’s high-risk noise contours of the range complex. The property will be managed as open space for future public recreational use and habitat preservation for rare species. • Assisted in the purchase of a keystone parcel that is within the approach to landing zones used in helicopter training on the installation that would have been subdivided into 35 home sites. The property was transferred to the local municipality, which has used the land to connect two adjacent parks with a trail for recreation from the community. The property will be managed at no cost to the military to reduce wildfire risks to the installation. • Assisted in the purchase of a former golf course had previously been rezoned and subdivided for the construction of 400+ residences that would lie within the approach at Muir Army National Guard Airfield. This project eliminated the potential for a large volume of noise complaints in a heavily trafficked aviation corridor and preserves land for agricultural and species habitat use.
