BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Committee discussed the. potential for proliferation of new land
trusts in the County. There was concern expressed that many such
trusts are underfunded and lacked expertise to adequately maintain
and protect lands which is received. The Board of Supervisors has
directed consideration of a countywide open space trust and an
agricultural trust for the Agricultural Core. Several other land
trusts operate in the County.
This report should inventory land trusts operating in the County
and review if any duplication of effort currently exists or might
occur with the formation of new land trusts. - Their ability to
operate effectively should also be reviewed.
