This approach would stretch federal money and could result in much more private land from being developed near parks. It could also be an effective strategy for conserving land along NPS administered trails where we own little to no land. https://padlet.com/kassandrahardy/hhbqbdrixi4z8wmu/wish/1320785751 2021-03-17 14:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kassandrahardy/hhbqbdrixi4z8wmu/wish/1320785751 The NPS should engage with state natural resource agencies to encourage privately owned forest land owners to participate in the USFS's Forest Legacy Program, which is funded through LWCF.
