Draft <br />Introduction <br />The Lands Legacy Program was adopted by Orange County in April 2000. Administered <br />by the Environment and Resource Conservation Department (ERCD), the program's mission <br />is to help protect the county's most important natural and cultural resource lands before <br />they are damaged or lost to incompatible development activities. The program is guided by <br />an Action P/an developed by ERCD and adopted by the Board of Commissioners. The first <br />Action Plan was aone-year plan adopted in May 2001. The now biannual Action Plan <br />guides Lands Legacy acquisitions and protection for the specified years. <br />The process of developing the Action Plan begins with staff identifying potential projects <br />and asking the Board for initial guidance. Staff then meets with advisory boards for their <br />input on development of priorities for the upcoming years. Using the advisory board <br />recommendations, adraft Plan is presented to the Board of Commissioners for their <br />consideration and input. The Action Plan is finalized in conjunction with the CIP process. <br />The following is an Action Plan for the fiscal years 2006-2008. The Action Plan <br />contains goals, a summary of advisory board comments, specific action objectives, and a <br />priority list of land acquisition and protection projects for the coming two years. Also <br />attached is a brief Performance Table ~ for the first eight years of the Lands Legacy <br />Program (2000-2008) (See Appendix 1). <br />(Note: P/ans to continue fo pursue grant funding for County projects are implicit.) <br />1. Upper Eno and Upper New Hope Riparian Buffers: Continue to protect riparian <br />buffers in the Upper Eno River watershed critical area (including additions to Seven <br />Mile Creek Preserve) and the Upper New Hope Creek watershed. <br />2. Faucette Mill and Hall's Mill Historic Areas: Continue efforts to protect <br />archaeological resources associated with the former Faucette Mill and Hall's Mill sites. <br />3. Agricultural Conservation Easements: Continue working with willing sellers (and <br />partner entities) to acquire agricultural conservation easements in priority watersheds <br />with assistance from the state and federal grant programs. <br />4. Bingham Township Park: Complete the land acquisition for a future community <br />park in the White Cross area (Bingham Township)-the last remaining park .site <br />identified in the 1988 Master Recreation and Parks Plan. <br />5. Natural Areas and Prime Forests: Protect the highest priority natural areas and <br />prime forests identified in the Orange County Inventory of Natural Areas and Wi/dlife <br />Habitat (2004 update) and the Landscape with Wildlife reports (1997-99). Begin to <br />structure these areas within a framework of nature preserves, where possible. <br /> <br />For the period Ju/y ~, ZOOS -.7une 30, 20.10 <br />
