A great blue heron rests in a tree recently along Grand Lake. Using a state FFA grant and local funds, Marion Local FFA members and watershed and environmental officials will erect signs along the 2.7-mile walking trail in the 80-acre Gilliland Nature Sanctuary. The signs will identify plant and tree species and different ecosystems at the sanctuary.
