Rowe Sanctuary taking advantage of newly acquired land
Rowe Sanctuary Director Bill Taddicken said the newly acquired 590 acres gives the facility about 4½ miles of contiguous riverfront and adjacent land.
The money came from a combination of sources, including government grants and private foundations and donors.
The plan for the new land is still evolving, but Taddicken said the sanctuary will continue leasing 80 acres of irrigated cropland, 20 dryland acres and a meadow for grazing to neighbors.
