Sylvester Manor dedicates forest area
On Sunday, Nov. 27, Dr. Joan Maloof, Founder of the Old Growth Forest Network, presented a plaque to past and present Sylvester Manor staff and Trustees, dedicating a vegetative area in the southwest corner of its site to protect trees estimated to be between 80 and 130 years old.
The old-growth oak, hickory and pine woodland is listed as a site of national significance on the National Register of Historic Places.
