Linda Stevens, a resident with long experience hiking and riding in the area north of Cumberland, asked the council to support efforts to preserve roughly 990 acres that include Lizard Mountain and access to the White River. She described the area’s recreational value for hikers, horseback riders and mountain bikers and said many residents are worried about their wells if large-scale development were to proceed.
Stevens said county and state entities had expressed possible interest in acquisition and urged continuing conservation efforts. The council did not take formal action; Stevens concluded by thanking the council and noting she had provided remarks during the public-comment period.
