The Erin K. Johnson Fund Trustees had been hearing for the past few years about a huge concern regarding private property up for sale that has been the main access to Kachemak Bay State Park. The Conservation Fund has been working hard to secure the Saddle Trail property acquisition. Erin’s fund has donated to help with this huge financial effort which is a top priority for the Kachemak Bay State Park and the community of Homer.
The Conservation Fund is scheduled to close this month or early January! They will purchase the property on a loan, to secure the opportunity and allow for more time for fundraising in 2022 so that the land can be purchased in full, At that point, ownership will be transferred over to Kachemak Bay State Park for management as public land. This is an exciting project for The Conservation Fund and we are very glad to support this important effort.
Below is the link to the Conservation Fund’s page that explains the project and the heavy financial lift to secure this property forever. We are glad that we could contribute to this effort in 2021 and will continue to support The Conservation Fund’s work on this effort until it becomes public property.
