Leovich Landing Project Moves Ahead

J&D Civil Engineers have completed engineering of Leovich Landing in Oxford. The site includes a canoe/kayak launch, parking lot, revegetation of the area cleared of invasives, a fence to delineate the parking lot, stormwater control, and a picnic area. J&D donated much of the effort for the plans. The plan was approved by the Oxford Conservation Commission on April 21

A grant request for part of the funding has been submitted to The Last Green Valley. We have been fortunate to obtain committments for donations of services and materials to match any grant award on a one to one basis.
