Dunn�s greenspace is facing future annexations from Oregon and Stoughton, spillover from new Fitchburg development, a huge unwanted research facility and a new and bigger power line traversing the township.
To stroll, bike or drive down the handful of two-lane roads that crisscross the town of Dunn is to step back in time. New subdivisions don�t intrude on the farms and wetlands that define much of its landscape. Sandhill cranes still nest in its marshes, and full-time farmers raise hogs, dairy cattle and organic vegetables in its fields. And in a normal winter, acres of unbroken white snow stretch across fields knit with the stubble of last year�s corn crop and dapple the crests of glacial hills.
