Announcing Marshall Woods. This spring, as part of our climate action efforts and to honor Marshall Webb and his legacy, we will be planting "Marshall Woods." A mix of native and adaptable tree species will be planted on three acres of pasture that hug the woodland edge beyond Sheep's Knoll. Learn more about this climate action project and join us in making this vision a reality.
