Jefferson Patterson may have been a “gentleman farmer,” but he
was also very concerned with the management of the abundant
natural resources of Point Farm. It’s a practice that didn’t
begin with him; the Native Americans who inhabited this property
certainly had strong ties to the many ecosystems that supported
their communities. It also didn’t end with him. Today, JPPM
strives to practice good stewardship and to educate others about
how to do so as well. JPPM has been, and continues to be,
involved with several environmental research projects both on
the landscape and in the surrounding waterways. Check out the

throughout the years. Encroachment of Sills onto State-Owned
