Eliot and Tina Scull donate $1 million to the Wenatchee Foothills Campaign from the estate of Eliot’s mother, Patricia. Their gift repays the debt for the 1,700-acre Horse Lake Reserve and provides money for taking care of the property. CDLT and The Trust for Public Land purchase Jack Corning’s Broadview Heights property that had been preliminarily rezoned for 80 residential lots. John and Mary Ann Corning and John’s Real Estate Corp. sell the property below market value as a donation to the campaign.

Thanks to huge support from the community, CDLT completes fundraising for acquisition and stewardship of Saddle Rock, and City of Wenatchee takes ownership of the property, accomplishing 100 year-old community goal of protecting the landmark in perpetuity. This is the start of the Wenatchee Foothills Campaign.

With the land abutting the 50-foot-wide east side Loop Trail corridor to be declared surplus and sold by the WSDOT, the CDLT forms a committee to influence eventual use of the land. The committee, led by Eliot Scull and Mike Scott, represents agriculture, developers and the conservation community.

It begins weekly meetings and adopts the motto, "Our Shoreline's Future — an Opportunity to Do it Right."
