Resident urges council to support conservation of 990 acres north of Cumberland
Summary
A longtime resident urged the council to help conserve about 990 acres north of Cumberland, including Lizard Mountain and White River access, citing recreation and local well concerns and noting county/state interest in land protection.
Linda Stevens, speaking during public comment, asked the council to support efforts to conserve roughly 990 acres north of Cumberland that include Lizard Mountain and nearby White River access. "We're talking about saving the, 990 acres just North of Cumberland where Lizard Mountain is," Stevens said, noting the area's value for hiking, biking and equestrian use.
Stevens said the land matters both for recreation and for groundwater protection—residents are concerned about wells if large extraction projects proceed—and said she had been told county and state entities might be interested in participating in conservation. The council received the comment and offered to accept written materials after the meeting.
