Located in Mehoopany in Wyoming County, this 37-acre property is owned by Mrs. Betty Davies. In 1961, the Davies family built a log cabin here from the locust trees harvested from the moun- tainous portion of the land. Since then, they've enjoyed countless hours of pristine woods, clean air and the cool waters of the Mehoopany Creek. During this time, the land came to be known as that “Special Place.” | Mrs. Davies and her family hoped to preserve this land for- ever. In their search to do so, they found the Back Mountain Regional Land Trust could assist them. The Land Trust became the party responsible for enforcing a con- servation easement or conserva- tion restriction that was created by the Davies’ and the Trust. This document becomes part of the property deed and is offi- cially recorded at the respective courthouse. Current and subse- quent owners of the land must - abide by the restrictions noted in perpetuity. ; One of Mrs. Davies’ desires was to protect the riparian forest buffer for the adjoining Mehoopany Civil War group Wyoming Valley Civil War Round Table will meet Thursday, Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Daddow- Isaac American Legion on Rt. 415 in Dallas.

Riparian refers to the area of land adjacent to a body of wa- ter, stream, river, marsh, or shore- line that directly affects or is af- fected by the water. Riparian areas serve as a transition be- tween the aquatic and the terres- trial environment. In essence, Mrs. Betty Davies and future own- ers are positively affecting the health of not only Mehoopany Creek, but also that of the Susquehanna River into which it flows. Other projects in progress by the Land Trust include Ridgetop Preservation in Luzerne County, Bear Creek Planning Project, con- servation easements on nearly 220 additional acres in Luzerne and Susquehanna Counties, and a - series of seminars to begin in 1999 to train a pool of professional at- torneys, appraisers and accoun- tants in the technical work of land trusts.
