********************************************
Unlike the major parts of Section 16 and Red Rock Canyon, White Acres has yet to be permanently protected by a conservation easement.
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.
Friends of Red Rock Canyon has worked 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.
