DOMINION GRANT SUPPORTED AMERICAN CHESTNUT LAND TRUST PROJECT (SMN). The Southern Maryland Newspapers (10/25, Scott, 4K) reported that the American Chestnut Land Trust on Tuesday celebrated the opening of the “Prince Frederick Trailhead, the newest of ACLT’s four gateways to the Parkers Creek Preserve.” At the ribbon cutting ceremony, ACLT executive director Karen Edgecombe called it a “pleasant hike” and noted that “1,765 volunteer hours went into the planning, constructing and implementation of the new trailhead and the new barn at Double Oak Farm.” The piece described past work by the ACLT and added that volunteers from “the Parkers Creek Conservation Society (ACLT’s hunt club) completed the Bay Overlook in the spring of 2011 with a grant from Dominion Resources.”
