Jay Meiners loved the outdoors and in business loved
to work. His work was building a dry foods business that
continues today with the next generation of Meiners. His
son Jeff summarizes the family’s donation: “When our
dad, Jay Meiners, passed away in 1988, we felt that a
dedicated tract of land to be set aside as a wetlands area
would be an appropriate way to memorialize Jay.
