NAI CIR Facilitates the Conservation of 509 Acres by The Nature Conservancy
Harrisburg, PA – NAI CIR is proud to announce the successful conveyance of 509 acres of pristine land in Middle Paxton Township, PA to The Nature Conservancy.
The Nature Conservancy closed on the transaction and transferred it to the Pennsylvania Game Commission for addition to State Game Lands 211.
Located on the slopes of Second Mountain adjacent to State Game Lands 211 and Fort Hunter Conservancy, this remarkable property adds to a protected wildlife corridor that spans more than 30 miles. It is located within the Kittatinny Ridge, part of an important migratory superhighway for wildlife in North America including broad-wing hawks, kestrels, ruby-throated hummingbirds, eastern bluebirds, monarch butterflies, and cerulean warblers.
Special recognition is due to the Vartan Group, the property’s steward for the past 30 years, who expressed great enthusiasm about the transition of property ownership to ensure its conservation and protection for perpetuity.
This project was made possible with funding from the Hamer Foundation and Pennsylvania Game Commission, as well as financial assistance from a Community Conservation Partnership Program grant by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR).
Congratulations to The Nature Conservancy on this exceptional project!
Daniel J. Alderman, Casey P. Khuri, Christopher Wilsbach, and David Alderman of NAI CIR proudly represented the seller in this landmark transaction.
