The Fourth Street Preserve is located on either side of Fourth Street and totals 30 acres of forested land. This historically rich parcel also plays a vital role in preserving Lewes’s remaining wildlife and significantly contributes to improved air quality and reduced carbon emissions. Additionally, this land plays a role in water management, acting as a vital component in safeguarding against flooding.

By purchasing the 4th Street Preserve for the price of $8.3 mil, we will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve this land from future development.

Open space in and around Lewes is being diminished every day. The loss of trees, green habitats, view corridors, and natural resources is startling. Many of us feel helpless as we see these vital resources and our sense of place disappear.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Join us on our mission to preserve environmentally important Lewes land for generations to come.
