The plan is to convert it into a publicly-accessible county park, which shouldn't be hard to do - it already has most of the infrastructure necessary for it to become a county park, including access drives, parking, restroom facilities, and trails. Not sure if they'll keep the name, but this will be the first and only county park on the western half of the county (a goal that was set 10+ years ago)...

And, just like that, we have a new name for the newest County Park - the Arthur E. & Mildred H. Woollam Nature Preserve, named in honor of a donor's parents -
