CONWAY — Behind a long stretch of houselots lining the east side of Stark Road in Conway lies 124 acres of mostly early-succession forest, sloping gently eastward into a significant wooded wetland that drains into Conway Lake. Karyl and Ed Bisson generously donated their special land to USVLT, while passing on not only their example and results of good stewardship, but also equipment and funds for USVLT to successfully follow in their footsteps.
Through this conservation effort, not only will the forests and wetlands be protected, but some unique habitats will be preserved as well.
