Isnt most of the conservation land essentially lands that could not be developed anyway because of their terrain or wildlife habitat issues?
A large portion of the dedicated areas and the great majority of the acquisition areas are level areas that have a high potential for development. Habitat issues would likely reduce the potential level of development but not eliminate it. The strong possibility of development on a significant part of the conserved lands development that could threaten the ecological integrity of the ranch makes it essential to complete the acquisitions in the approximately three-year option window.
