Land issues? A parcel of land adjacent to my property is 300 acres. It is owned jointly by six people, one of which is a neighbor. This piece of land is beautiful, rolling, covered with oak woods, wetlands, and the headwaters of a nearby creek. The problem is that it is for sale, and I just know land developers want to swoop down and destroy it. I grew up exploring and horseback riding through it, and am somewhat attached to it. It would kill me if a developer bought that land and turned it into another chunk of beige cookie-cutter houses that seem to be popping up everywhere nowadays. Our county has a conservation district that purchases pieces of land like that for habitat restoration, but they probably wouldn%26#039;t be able to compete with the price that developers could offer the owners of the property. All they are interested in is making money, and that makes many people in this area angry. Can anything that can be done to prevent a developer from purchasing that land and destroying it? 57% 4 Votes 29% 2 Votes

The people who own the land have the right to sell it to whomever they want. If you or anyone doesn%26#039;t like that, you have the option of purchasing it yourself or as part of a group. It seems to me you are upset because you may not be able to use the land yourself. 0% 0 Votes

I don%26#039;t know from which country you belong, but in India, we can%26#039;t divert any forest land for any non forestry purpose irrespective of any ownership. It is barred here in Indian Forest Coservation Act 1980. You should take advice of ur local Forest Officials, administrators and even you can involve NGOs and environment lovers i it. 0% 0 Votes

Why not ask your community to contribute money and buy that parcel of land for the purpose of preservation or making it into a park. through that, the people will have total control of the land. Through this, your community can save many wildlife from lossing their home. This world really needs more plants and trees too . 0% 0 Votes
