Speakers urge council to help protect 990 acres north of Cumberland including Lizard Mountain
Summary
Linda Stevens urged the council to preserve about 990 acres north of Cumberland—citing recreation, wildlife habitat and concerns for local wells—and said county or state partners may be willing to help.
Linda Stevens told the council she has used the White River and nearby lands since childhood and urged action to save "the 990 acres just North of Cumberland where Lizard Mountain is." She described trails, river access and flat areas suitable for older visitors, and said residents fear impacts to wells if a large project proceeds.
Stevens said she has heard the county and state might be interested in acquiring or protecting the land, and asked the council to consider ways to preserve public access and water quality. There was no formal council action recorded following her comment.
