General Acquisition Evaluation Template Attachment 1 <br /> Meets County Goals The current protection of this large tract by OWASA helps to achieve County goals of protecting a <br /> and Criteria? water supply watershed, prime forestland, natural area and wildlife habitat, and rural character <br /> and open space in this largely undeveloped section of Bingham Township. <br /> Opening all or a portion of this property for public use would achieve the County goal of <br /> establishing a Bingham-Cane Creek District Park, identified in the Parks Element of the <br /> Comprehensive Plan. Opening this land for public use would help address low-impact parkland <br /> needs in this section of the County and take some pressure off Eno River State Park and Duke <br /> Forest properties located in eastern parts of the County. The future opening Seven Mile Creek <br /> Preserve (2004-05?) will also help in that regard. It may someday be possible to link this tract to <br /> the Seven Mile Creek Preserve (3 miles away) and become part of the proposed Cane Creek to <br /> Eno River rustic woodland trail and wildlife corridor network. <br /> Conclusions [Placeholder] <br /> Orange County ERCD <br /> February 13, 2002 <br />
