Background: PVAS was approached by Jefferson County Historic Landmarks Commission to assist with improvements at  Peter Burr Farm in Bardane.   The group is interested in developing a nature trail on the property that highlights its natural features which include wetland, grassland, and others.  PVAS has been invited to hold a summer camp on the property this summer as well as host bird walks and other nature oriented activities.
