Bedminster Township continues its land preservation efforts with the addition of another 17.7 acres of land on Log Cabin Road. The agreement for the sale and purchase of an agricultural conservation easement for the property followed approval of a resolution authorizing the township’s portion of the cost at $8,860, or about 4% of the total cost. The state is to contribute $196,000, and the county about $17,000, including closing costs. A second preservation of 36 acres is awaiting final approval by the owners. The township preserved 7,700 acres of land in 2022, one of the largest sums of protected acreage among Bucks municipalities.
