Owen Grumbling interviewed for Journal Tribune story on land conservation in Wells

Owen Grumbling, Ph.D., UNE professor of environmental studies and chairman of the Wells Conservation Commission, was interviewed for a Nov. 16th Journal Tribune story on a new trail at the Fenderson Wildlife Commons in Wells honoring Moe Fenderson, who with his wife, Evelyn, donated the 350 acres of commons to the town.

Grumbling discusses the importance of the Fendersons’ first donation of 50 acres, which initiated the process of land donation in Wells, which today includes approximately 1,500 acres of undeveloped natural habitat that are forever preserved in four separate conservation commons, with about six to seven miles of trails combined.
