Abstract: This project provides negotiation support to the Trustee Council in order to reach closure on habitat protection priorities. This support includes title reports, appraisals, on-site inspections, hazardous materials surveys, land surveys, timber cruises and reviews, and other services necessary for the successful completion of habitat protection negotiations. The Council has completed acquisition packages with eight large-parcel landowners resulting in the protection of 420,640 acres of land. Agreements with three additional landowners would result in protection of an additional 177,000 acres of land. In addition, the Council has acquired 32 small parcels encompassing more than 3,500 acres. Negotiations and closing activities continue with additional large parcel and small parcel landowners.
