Cedar Gap Conservation Area came into existence in 1999 thanks in large part to the dedication and commitment of a small group of private citizens from Springfield and the local community of Cedar Gap. The land forms the headwaters of Bryant Creek, a popular float and fishing stream.
Foundation board member David Reynolds and his wife Janice were two members of a group of 23 people who raised $140,000 to purchase 391 acres of land that became the conservation area.
The group received donations for the land purchase, and the Foundation deposited the funds in a special account. When all the money had been raised, the Foundation purchased the tract and deeded it over to the Conservation Department for management.
