this day in conserving land on St. John...........

In what can only be good for all of us that live here and all of you who will eventually visit: This week we learned of a 3.6 acre parcel of land near a favorite snorkel spot on the East End of St. John being protected forever. Lauren Mercadante has been vacationing and volunteering here on St. John for many years, and now has started the St. John Land Conservancy and purchased the more than 3 acres of property on Haulover Bay.

“What I am particularly excited about is that St. John Land Conservancy has been formed and will be able to do other things on St. John where there is a development threat to property that is really in need of conserving,” said Muilenburg. “There is really a lot of potential support for something like this.”
