“The property extends from just past the Highlands Community Center to Sherwood Forest Road on the right as you leave town going East,” said HCLT Director Gary Wein.
Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust has just announced that Little Bear Pen LLC has donated 28 acres along Hwy 64 to the Land Trust.
“The property extends from just past the Highlands Community Center to Sherwood Forest Road on the right as you leave town going East,” said HCLT Director Gary Wein.
“The primary contact for the effort was Cantey Davis, the registered agent for Little Bearpen LLC, and he did a wonderful job pulling this together,” said Julie Schott, HCLT Director of Development.
The gift comes as this segment of Highlands is facing increased development pressure and it’ll ensure that the property is protected in perpetuity.
In all, HCLT preserves over 3.200 acres of forests, wetlands and vistas. It’s been a quiet force for the protection of the Wild Places on the Plateau since 1909.
