This is an incredibly unique, one-of-a-kind project, going on right
here in
Madison. The Northside community has worked over five years
preventing
the State from selling the land to developer, convincing the City of
Madison to adopt the community's preservation plan into the City master
plan, arranging the purchase of the site, and securing funding for
conservation, agricultural and educational programs. Look for a story
about
Troy Gardens in the September issue of Conservation magazine.
