For the past 50 years the ABCA has purchased land for a number of reasons: flood control, erosion control, significant natural features and recreation. The ABCA has reforested and developed nature trails on many properties. They are important recreation areas in many communi- ties and provide habitat for wildlife. Some of the land that the ABCA currently owns is not needed for environmental protection; the land came with larger parcels of land when it was purchased. A property review done • by the ABCA recommended that some land be sold. Such is the case with five residential lots within the Town of Parkhill. The ABCA would like to sell the lots in order to raise funds for the protection of environ- mentally important land. There is also a small parcel of land in the Village of Dublin that ABCA has offered to the Township of Hibbert. In Exeter, the ABCA is selling land in McNaughton Park (excluding the house) to the Town of Exeter. An advertisement in local papers on Oct. 23 has further information on the Parkhill lots.
