I hope everyone picked up on the inclusion in the article that the new nature preserve was built and paid for by the Morse family, but has now been deeded to one of the development districts with the requirement that it be managed by the Recreation Department. Pretty generous, don't you think?
But a bit of a backstory. In the course of a conversation with a manager in the construction division, he noted that the new area, technically a wetland, has been under development for almost five years. During that time The Villages has planted over one million trees and countless other plant material. He was quite proud of the vast array of animals that now habitate the area. During the discussion he commented that the total cost of the area now exceeds $20 million!
Quite a nice gift to al of us, don't you think?
