Conservation board says it will not sell Edward’s Park; plans clearing and hunting signage
Summary
The Conservation Board, represented by Director Bruce Haag, told the Audubon County Board the county is not planning to sell Edward’s Park; the board will clear fence-line trees, install parking signage and consider signage for public hunting while the Lewis family reviews deed documents.
Conservation Director Bruce Haag told the board that multiple members of the public had called with concerns that Audubon County was going to sell Edward’s Park. Haag reviewed historic Conservation Board minutes showing the land’s transfer to the county and said the Conservation Board does not want to sell the property. The Lewis family (Steve and Mary Kay Lewis) met with the Conservation Board and will review deed copies provided by Haag.
Haag said crews will clear trees around the fence line and the Conservation Board ordered a parking sign to be installed; board members also suggested installing signage identifying the area for public hunting. No sale or transfer action was taken at the supervisors’ meeting; the discussion centered on record review and planned minor site work.
