A little back ground of this land:
This 40 acres land was a surface mining site. The reclamation works done
during the 1970s. But over the years, the soil was seriously eroded. Anna and Peilin, who has Masters and PhD in soil and environment health background, bought this land several years ago and start restore the vegetations. Now the site looks beautiful and ready for the nature lovers and campers to enjoy the fantastic view of the lake, ponds and tall grass... The site is totally different than the Google map shows now.
