This newest addition to the Robert L. Graham Nanticoke Wildlife Area will be managed as wildlife habitat and will permanently preserve more than 2,500 feet of mature woodland buffer along Wrights Creek, a freshwater tributary that empties into the Nanticoke River 1.5 miles south of the newly-acquired property.

\”The addition of this small but important tract to the Nanticoke Wildlife Area is the latest example of the progress we have made in protecting key habitat areas in the 25 years since the Delaware Land Protection Act and its funding arm through the Delaware Open Space Program were established,\” said DNREC Secretary David Small. \”With the support of Open Space funds, we have been able to conserve nearly 2,500 acres just in the Nanticoke Wildlife Area alone.\”
