Art and Nature at the Rodman Slough Preserve, held in April, was a resounding success. It gave visitors a chance to see the beautiful preserve protected by the Lake County Land Trust, and to view a variety of nature art created by local artists. Each artist donated one of their paintings to the Land Trust, which were sold at the trust”s annual spring dinner, or will be auctioned at the annual dinner coming up in October.
The Lake County Land Trust greatly appreciates this partnership between local artists and our organization, which is dedicated to preserving and protecting Lake County”s beautiful open spaces.
