Tne tmra action Involved approval of purchase of 2,083 acres In Amelia County bordering the Appomattox River for development of a wildlife management area. A desirable site for future construction of a 78 acre public fishing lake on the property weighed heavily in the decision. The property would offer dove, quail, rabbit and squirrel hunting with proper development, as well as limited deer and turkey hunting. The tract is located about 9 1/2 miles south of the present Powhatan Wildlife Management Area and includes some 3 miles of frontage on the Appromattox River. The new property will definitely not be opened to public hunting this season. Approximately 10 acres of existing small ponds may be opened to the public some time in 1967.
