Recommendation — 2001 -2002 Lands Legacy Annual Action Plan Stancil reviewed the information beginning on page eleven of the agenda packet. It was noted that the advisory boards are asked annually to provide priorities on input for the Lands Legacy Annual Action Plan and that it is time for the year 2001 -2002 planning to begin. Stancil asked what priorities the APB would like to pursue in the coming fiscal year. Previous ideas discussed are: Complete initial pilot project easement, Acquire a second conservation easement, and Look at a combined farmland/cultural area acquisition. Stancil noted that, with a December 10th deadline for Farmland Preservation Trust Fund application, work is progressing on the initial pilot project easement project. Completion may be a priority for the coming year. Pursuit of a second easement might be a second priority. A third idea of a combined acquisition where there are opportunities for conservation easements and acquisitions that meet multiple needs. For example, a park with a farmstead or historic property, or a farm that contains a natural area, where a combination of multiple goals could be obtained. DRAFT Page 1 of 5
