Peter Williamson

Peter Williamson represented Natural Land Trust, which he said organized in the 1950s and has worked in this region since the 1970s.

In 2006, Williamson said, the trust acquired two tracts totaling 3,400 acres near the Francis E. Walter Reservoir. The largest tract is in Bear Creek Township, he said, and is separated from the smaller portion by 1,200 acres owned by developer Blue Ridge Realty.

Williamson said the trust wants to acquire the land owned by Blue Ridge and has arranged for a grant for half of the $3 million purchase price. He asked the township to consider applying for community development funds from state casino funding programs to help fund the rest.

"They don't allow nonprofits to apply. They require municipalities. We're asking the township to be the applicant," Williamson said, noting that other municipalities have done this and that the trust would do all the work.

Williamson said the proposed acquisition includes a peninsula that extends into the reservoir and would increase access to the deepest part of the reservoir. He said plans call for wildlife habitat with minimal development, with one or possibly two management centers and walking/hiking trails. Deer hunting by permit and fishing would be allowed.

Zingaretti told Williamson the board "would be in touch."
