In conclusion:

Escarpment Ravines + Vacant parcels
= Portage Escarpment Ravine Preserves
The Green Creek Ravine Preserve
is the first building block in our
must-have series of Portage
Escarpment Ravine Preserves

With it, we may begin to:
Restore places & eco-functions
Enhance cultural richness
Prepare for a better future
