Earlier this year, Manada Conservancy staff worked with the Shirk family to sign a conservation easement protecting their family farm and 41-acre property in Dauphin County.  The property has been in the family’s care since 1951. It features rolling farm hills and about 13 acres of woodland that provide a healthy streamside buffer along a network of branches that feed the Manada Creek.

Said Manada Conservancy representatives: “To the Shirk family, we are forever grateful for your vision to protect your land!”
