TIME IS RUNNING OUT

Adjacent to Chief Hazy Cloud Park in Ada, hundreds of mature trees, thousands of native plants and countless critters thrive along the water’s edge. Kent County has an opportunity to double the size of Chief Hazy Cloud Park with this 96-acre parcel. Unfortunately, the County doesn’t have much time. The property has attracted the attention of several prospective buyers, and will be sold for development if the County does not move quickly enough. Help preserve this vital piece of land for future public use. Contribute to the Land Legacy Fund today.

THE LAND LEGACY FUND

Land and time: two precious and finite resources. Today, Kent County is in a race against time: working to preserve uniquely valuable parcels of undeveloped land for public use. Several sites have been identified, and negotiations are underway. Without adequate funding, however, these parcels will be lost forever. Aged trees will be cut, acres will be cleared, houses and strip malls will be built. Help preserve the distinctive natural character of Kent County with a gift to the Land Legacy Fund. All gifts will be used only to acquire and preserve land for public use.
