The Colorado Springs City Council has unanimously approved TOPS acquisition of White Acres as open space. Because of limited TOPS funds, $75,000 in private funds have been secured to supplement TOPS funds for the purchase of White Acres, and the first 2 of 4 parcels have been purchased. Until the remaining parcels are purchased in 20110 & 2012, they will be leased for use as open space.
Friends of Red Rock Canyon is working together with the Palmer Land Trust to preserve our special lands.

White Acres has significant intrinsic value as open space; and its strategic location adjacent to Red Rock Canyon Open Space and Section 16 gives it special importance as part of a larger whole.
