Land Conservation. As part of the agreement, UVM agrees to explore with the City additional conservation opportunities on some of the University-owned land abutting Centennial ▇▇▇▇▇ Natural Area in Burlington, known as a portion of the Grove Street Parcel as depicted on Exhibit B. UVM will retain ownership of the land, but will commit to conserve rather than develop the area depicted on Exhibit B, given the public access to Centennial ▇▇▇▇▇ Natural Area that it allows, for a period of ten years from the date of the execution of this Agreement. The Centennial ▇▇▇▇▇ Natural Area represents a tremendous asset to the University as a research, educational and scientific parcel and to the City as space accessible to many residents, given that UVM controls and has conserved the Centennial ▇▇▇▇▇ Natural Area under a perpetual easement. This parcel also helps to protect natural spaces closer to the Winooski River Watershed.
