What makes <br />this parcel even more attractive is the vegetation diversity, maturity and cover density. The vegetation <br />is also protected from domestic livestock grazing. Avery rare event in this are. WFC is asking for <br />permisslon to enterthe property, with proper notification, and performing the necessary study.
