Sanctuary property into Country Forest Law
On May 19, 2005 the Douglas County Board passed
Resolution #48-05 entering all but 43.5 acres of the 3,011 acre County-owned

This is great news for lovers of the Bird Sanctuary as
it protects the property from being easily considered for use for other
purposes.
