Summary
This bill amends the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 to allow states to authorize qualified nonprofit organizations to acquire, hold, and manage conservation easements under the Forest Legacy Program. The bill expands a provision previously limited to Vermont to apply nationwide. It establishes eligibility criteria for organizations, including tax-exempt status, a conservation mission, absence of prior enforcement actions, and accreditation by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, and includes provisions for reversion of easements to the state if conditions are not met.
