The Oakland Nature Preserve Inc., a non-profit corporation, was then formed to manage and develop the preserve land. Preserve members have held several initial field trips in order to introduce West Orange communities to their newest neighbor. The ONP will also be present April 17 at the Florida Cracker Festival in downtown Winter Garden with preserve and membership information. The ONP inducted its first officers and board members April 1. The all-volunteer organization relies on community and membership support for its success.
Plans are underway for the installation of the first phase of the interpretive presentation.
Many thanks to their very productive, hard work and the Church of the Brethern of Gotha.
