Lands Legacy Annual Action Plan 2002 =04 <br /> The Board of Commissioners adopted the Lands Legacy Program in April 2000 . Through <br /> this program , Orange County seeks to protect its most critical natural and cultural <br /> resources through a variety of voluntary means . Over the first two years of the program , <br /> the County has protected 794 acres for future use as parkland , nature preserves , farmland <br /> and historic/cultural sites , with negotiations underway on another 424 acres . <br /> The Lands Legacy Program is activated each year by adoption of an Annual Action Plan , <br /> concurrent with the CIP process . For this fiscal year , the Action Plan was withheld until <br /> decisions about the CIP and bond sales were made , since these directly impact the Action <br /> Plan . On December 2 , 2002 , the Board asked that the current Action Plan be combined <br /> with a FY 2003 - 04 Action Plan , to be considered together as a two—year plan . <br /> The Action Plan presented herein reflects acquisition priorities for this fiscal year and <br /> 2003 - 04 . Since the FY 2002 -03 fiscal year is already well underway , many of the priorities <br /> listed in the plan are already familiar to the Board . This , plus the many multi -year projects <br /> already present , make the conversion to a two -year plan a relatively- simple task . <br />
