My Best Friend Roger is a Rabid Conservationist. He was an Independent Insurance Agent in Earlham, Iowa and during that Period he Implemented a Trees Forever Program over a Period of Five Years, I was one of many people who contributed their time to this project. He later Received an Award for one of the most Successful Trees Forever Projects in Iowa.
He Also Purchases Land and Partially Restores it to Native Prairie and at one point he had 24 Buffalo on his Property.
He Owns Over 600 Acres South of Earlham in Madison County (i.e. the Bridges of Madison County are only about 15 Miles Away) and it has Seven Quarries. A Few Years Ago He Planted over 200 Acres in Prairie Grass.
It would be a Great Place for a Spiritual Retreat and Healing Center combined with Ecologically Designed Homes based on the Historic Garden City Model of Ecological and Sustainable Development that was Briefly Popular in the Early Part of the Last Century.
