In 2008, 274 acres was acquired in Wesley Township which was named John Wesley Preserve. Future efforts will be to continue protecting this scenic valley, connecting the John Wesley and Donohue Grove Preserves. The Preserve contains a section of Forked Creek with extensive floodplain and hydric soils for future restoration.
