Teichert makes rennovations

Early 1990s
Teichert realizes that certain sections of its property along the creek (excluding the pit site) have been severely neglected, with some areas being used as trash dumps.  Teichert begins cleaning up such areas and hires security to police the property against rampant trespassing. Teichert officials spend considerable time speaking with Joe Farnham, a neighboring landowner—and historian and environmentalist—who was instrumental in establishing a wildlife preserve on nearby land owned by the YCFCWDC.  Farnham tells Teichert the history of the property, describing the brickyard in the northeast corner and asking them to “save the oaks.” Farnham also describes the property along 94B as a meadow, and from then on the site is known as “Teichert Meadows” (Source: Hurd; Morrison).  Executives at Teichert begin to discuss various ways in which to renovate the site.
