The McCullochs were concerned with the heavy cottage development occurring along the nearby shores and wanted to protect this special area as a place of refuge. The decision of the McCulloch family to entrust this property to the Conservancy means that it will remain forever in its natural state, as a sanctuary to be enjoyed by both wildlife and people for generations to come.
