The Pine Bluffs Nature Preserve was established with the help of the 3 Pine Bluffs Road Property owners. Their dedication and financial contributions made acquiring this property and establishing the preserve possible, and the property is now held as a conservation trust in perpetuity and subject to the same use requirements as a statutory conservation easements. This is a perfect example of how to preserve land around the lake and prevent overdevelopment.
The previous owner of the parcel of land was Jim Moore, who grew up across Pine Bluffs Road from the new preserve. His boyhood experiences in enjoying this wilderness area created his commitment to keeping it undeveloped. When the opportunity to acquire this property arose, he welcomed the opportunity to allow the Higgins Lake Land Conservancy to protect the land for future generations.
