The Dishman Hills Natural Area Association has acquired a key piece of conservation land in the Dishman Hills at a cost of $258,000. The land will be donated to the County Conservation Futures program and is a required part of the acquisition of a new 269-acre conservation area. The new conservation area is accessible from Glenrose and is part of the Dream Trail connection between the Dishman Hills Natural Area and the Iller Creek Conservation Area. The Dishman Hills Natural Area Association plans to connect the two conservation areas in order to provide a wildlife corridor and recreation trails extending about ten miles.
