Public Outreach <br />The County ofi Orange is fortunate to have a citizenry with a strong conservation <br />ethic. This offers opportunities for the Lands Legacy program to expand the <br />realm of partnerships beyond state, local government and land trusts. <br />In particular, the Lands Legacy program should: <br />• Continue to publicize the Lands Legacy program through brochures and <br />presentations <br />• Through neighborhood meetings, explore awareness and possible partnership <br />with citizen and neighborhood interest groups on critical resource land <br />acquisitions <br />• Explore the possibility of providing a property 1=ax check-off for Lands Legacy <br />Fund <br />• Develop a revolving fund far timber rights and/or conservation easement <br />acquisition that can be paid into by citizens and homeowners associations to <br />mitigate any impacts from managed forestry programs <br />• Explore the potential for a matching grant program for land acquisitions, <br />possibly from a future (beyond 2001) bond referendum <br />8 <br />
