From time-to-time during the biennium State Parks learns of desirable properties located adjacent to or actually within the boundaries of a park. Some of these properties are small and consequently may not compete well during a competitive grant process. Others require immediate response in order to acquire the property. This proposal assumes acquisition of five parcels totaling 120 acres. In the past, funds from Inholding grants have been used to purchase property to remove undesirable neighbors (tavern) from a park, to obtain legal access to a park, to acquire desirable property listed with a real estate agent, and/or to acquire sites with high natural resources value. Since the '95-'97 biennium State Parks has regularly sought funds in the WWRP-State Parks budget to acquire critical inholdings or adjacent land.
