That's pretty interesting. Do you have any more info about how you did that or how you found it or how much something like that costs? Was it just a sustainability donation kind of thing, or do you intend to (or can you) live there or visit?
We donate to a Shirley Heinz Land Trust which buys up decrepit lots around where we live in Gary, IN and around there, and restores them into preserves. But it's nothing on the scale of what you bought, it sounds like.
- MrVandemar 3y ago> Decrepit lots ... restores them into preserves I despair. The only thing left for “nature” is the land we've run into the ground, poisoned and shit on. Turning them into preserves is laudable, except they'll never, ever be as good as whatever was there before the land was cleared. The biodiversity will be gone. The complex interactions of thousands of species will be gone. Restoring the land also inevitably requires fossil-fuel inputs.
- voisin 3y ago> except they'll never, ever be as good as whatever was there before the land was cleared 100 years? 500 years, 1000?
- MrVandemar 3y agoSure, leave it alone long enough and you'll get something. But I doubt even after 1,000 years you'll get anything close to the complexity or richness of whatever original ecosystem was there in the first place.

Our bid wasn't the highest, but we have conservation plans for majority of the land. >where we live in Gary, IN and around there, and restores them into preserves. What an awesome effort in quite tumultuous histories.
