A place where families, and students have enjoyed the outdoors for years in Millcreek township, gets honored today after a push to keep it part of the community. A vine-cutting, instead of a traditional ribbon cutting had community leaders and even representatives from the state, visiting browns farm, Monday. It's after the move made last month, by Millcreek supervisors. They approved a grant to the Asbury Woods Partnership to help purchase the nature center and property, located off Sterretania Road. The land had been owned by the cash-stapped Millcreek school district. Supervisors wanted to make sure the recreation area was not sold for development. But it's part of a bigger plan.

     The President and CEO of the Asbury Woods Partnership Larry Berrin says, "We continue with the nature center parcel which is still, we have funding in place when we purchased it, but we still have pending grants. so we're still hopeful. I hope next year we do the same event at Asbury Woods Nature Center."
 

    A $750-thousand dollar grant approved by the Millcreek supers to keep browns farm maintained for the community was not the total of the project. But it was the *largest financial grant ever made by the township to a non-profit. ###
