PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	NATIONAL PARK TRUST MISSION OUR MISSION IS TO PRESERVE PARKS TODAY AND CREATE PARK STEWARDS FOR TOMORROW. PRESERVE PARKS TODAY: SINCE 1983, NATIONAL PARK TRUST HAS COMPLETED 76 LAND ACQUISITION, RESTORATION, AND MITIGATION PROJECTS TO PROTECT MORE THAN 25,000 ACRES IN 30 STATES, ONE U.S. TERRITORY, AND WASHINGTON, D.C. SIXTY-ONE OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE BENEFITED 49 UNITS OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE. WHILE OUR EARLIER WORK INCLUDED THE PRESERVATION OF VARIOUS FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL PUBLIC LANDS, CURRENTLY, OUR WORK FOCUSES SOLELY ON NATIONAL PARK SITES. THE PARK TRUST SELECTS LAND PROJECTS FROM A HIGH-PRIORITY LIST ESTABLISHED BY THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND INCLUDES PRIVATELY OWNED PARCELS (FROM WILLING SELLERS) THAT ARE LOCATED WITHIN CURRENT NATIONAL PARK BOUNDARIES AS WELL AS ADJACENT LANDS TO NATIONAL PARKS. ALL LANDS ACQUIRED ARE DONATED TO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FOR PERMANENT PROTECTION. THE PARK TRUST MAY WORK AS THE SOLE NON-PROFIT PARTNER WITH THE NPS ON A PARTICULAR PROJECT; HOWEVER, WE ALSO OFTEN WORK AS A PARTNER WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL LAND TRUSTS AND FRIENDS GROUPS TO COMPLETE PARK PRESERVATION PROJECTS. CREATE PARK STEWARDS FOR TOMORROW: TO ENSURE THE PRESERVATION OF OUR PARKS AND PUBLIC LANDS AND WATERS IN PERPETUITY, NATIONAL PARK TRUST FOCUSES ON GETTING KIDS AND FAMILIES TO PARKS WITH THE GOAL OF BUILDING THE PIPELINE OF FUTURE PARK STEWARDS AND OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS. THE TRUST HAS FIVE NATIONAL INITIATIVES TO ENGAGE YOUTH AND FAMILIES: 1) BUDDY BISON PROGRAMS, 2) NATIONAL KIDS TO PARKS DAY, 3) YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM, 4) MILITARY FAMILY PROGRAMS, AND 5) THE COLLEGE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM. THESE INITIATIVES PROVIDE PARK EXPERIENCES FOR A VARIETY OF AUDIENCES, INCLUDING UNDERSERVED YOUTH, TEACHERS, MILITARY-CONNECTED FAMILIES, AND COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY COMMUNITIES. THESE PARK EXPERIENCES 1) ENHANCE CLASSROOM CURRICULUM, 2) PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS THROUGH OUTDOOR RECREATION, AND 3) FOSTER PARK STEWARDSHIP THROUGH CAREER AWARENESS AND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES. TO DATE, SINCE 2009, THE PARK TRUST'S YOUTH AND FAMILY PROGRAMS HAVE REACHED MORE THAN 3,000,000 CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AND HAVE COLLABORATED WITH AND GARNERED RECOGNITION FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, U.S. FOREST SERVICE, AND NUMEROUS NATIONAL AND LOCAL EDUCATION AND CONSERVATION PARTNERS. SINCE THE PANDEMIC, THE PARK TRUST NOW EMPLOYS A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL APPROACH TO CONNECT KIDS TO PARKS, OFFERING A HYBRID PROGRAM, BLENDING THE BEST OF IN-PARK AND LIVE VIRTUAL PROGRAMS WITH RANGERS. IN THE COMING YEARS, THE PARK TRUST WILL WORK TO EXPAND AND FURTHER INTEGRATE OUR LAND CONSERVATION AND YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS SO THAT WE CREATE MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES IN NATURE WHERE CHILDREN GAIN IMPORTANT ACADEMIC AND INTERPERSONAL SKILLS AND HAVE NEW OUTDOOR RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES. WE ALSO TEACH THEM IMPORTANT LESSONS IN CONSERVATION, HISTORY, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THEIR ROLE IN PROTECTING OUR NATION'S PARKLANDS. AND, WITH A POTENTIAL FEDERAL WORKFORCE RETIREMENT RATE OF 40 PERCENT IN THE NEXT DECADE, THE PARK TRUST HAS A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES IN NATURE AND EXPOSE THEM TO GREEN CAREER PATHWAYS AS TECHNICIANS, SCIENTISTS, ENGINEERS, LAND MANAGERS, AND EDUCATORS, AMONG OTHER PROFESSIONS. ANOTHER WAY THE PARK TRUST WORKS TOWARDS CREATING PARK STEWARDS OF TOMORROW IS THROUGH GRANT MANAGEMENT SERVICES. NATIONAL PARK TRUST PROVIDES TURN-KEY SERVICES THAT ENABLE BRANDS TO REALIZE THE BENEFITS OF A ROBUST GIVING PROGRAM - MINIMIZING ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES WHILE MAXIMIZING PROGRAM EFFICIENCY. GRANT MANAGEMENT DIRECTLY HELPS THE PARK TRUST ACHIEVE ITS MISSION. THE PARK TRUST CURRENTLY MANAGES FIVE GRANT-MAKING PROGRAMS AND, TO DATE, HAS AWARDED NEARLY $1.5 MILLION TO SCHOOLS AND NONPROFITS THAT CONNECT PEOPLE WITH THE OUTDOORS. YOUTH AND FAMILY PROGRAMS FROM EXPLORING THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO CANOEING ALONG THE ANACOSTIA RIVER IN WASHINGTON, DC, NATIONAL PARK TRUST IS MAKING CONSERVATION RELEVANT TO THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS FROM INNER-CITY AND RURAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. OUR PROGRAMS CENTER AROUND OUR LOVABLE PINT-SIZED WOOLLY MASCOT, BUDDY BISON, WHO REMINDS KIDS TO "EXPLORE OUTDOORS; THE PARKS ARE YOURS!" BUDDY BISON IS NOT ONLY A TANGIBLE REMINDER THAT KIDS NEED TO GET OUT AND GO, BUT HE ALSO CONNECTS KIDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH EACH OTHER. FAMILIES AND TEACHERS ALIKE WANT TO KNOW, "WHERE'S BUDDY BISON BEEN?" THROUGH OUR VARIOUS BUDDY BISON YOUTH PROGRAMS, THE PARK TRUST PROVIDED EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION FOR 21,657 STUDENTS IN 396 SCHOOLS. OUR GOAL FOR ALL OUR YOUTH PROGRAMS IS TO INSPIRE A GENERATION OF FUTURE CONSERVATION LEADERS AND PARK ENTHUSIASTS. 1.THE BUDDY BISON SCHOOL PROGRAM FULLY INTEGRATES LEARNING OBJECTIVES FROM THE SCHOOL'S CURRICULUM WITH PARK PROGRAMS AND SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION MATERIALS. WORKING DIRECTLY WITH TEACHER FEEDBACK, THE PARK TRUST CUSTOMIZED OVER 161 EXPERIENCES TO PARKS WORKING WITH 6,676 STUDENTS. 2.THE 2022 KIDS TO PARKS DAY SCHOOL GRANT PROGRAM HAS AWARDED 111 GRANTS TO 93 TITLE-I SCHOOLS TO SUPPORT OVER 5,896 STUDENTS IN GRADES PRE-K THROUGH 12. 3.IN ADDITION, THE PARK TRUST HAS ALSO IMPLEMENTED "PARK EXPERIENCE PROGRAMS".

IN THE LATE 1990S, WE WERE THE LEAD ORGANIZATION TO CREATE A NEW UNIT OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM DEDICATED TO PRESERVING OUR COUNTRY'S PRAIRIE ECOSYSTEM - THE TALLGRASS PRAIRIE NATIONAL PRESERVE. THE PARK TRUST CONTINUES TO BE INSTRUMENTAL IN ADDING CRITICAL PRIVATE LANDS TO OTHER PARKS INCLUDING IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS IN ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK (CO), OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK (WA), PICTURED ROCKS NATIONAL LAKESHORE (MI), LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK (CA), APPALACHIAN NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL (ME, NY, AND VA), VALLES CALDERA NATIONAL PRESERVE (NM), WASHITA BATTLEFIELD NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE (OK), AND ST CROIX NATIONAL SCENIC RIVERWAY (WI). WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON SEVERAL NEW AND UNIQUE PRESERVATION PROJECTS, INCLUDING: FORT SCOTT NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, KS INDIANA DUNES NATIONAL PARK, IN FOR A LIST OF OUR COMPLETED PROJECTS, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.PARKTRUST.ORG. RECENTLY COMPLETED AND ONGOING PROJECTS INCLUDE: ARKANSAS: JOHNNYCAKE RANCH (ONGOING SINCE 2003) THE PARK TRUST HOLDS A CONSERVATION EASEMENT ON THIS 2000-ACRE RANCH, WHICH ABUTS THE OUACHITA NATIONAL FOREST AND THE POTEAU MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS AREA. THE FOREST IS HOME TO 79 PROPOSED, ENDANGERED, THREATENED, AND SENSITIVE SPECIES. THE EASEMENT ALSO PROVIDES HABITAT PROTECTION FOR THE BALD EAGLE. THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT BENEFITS BOTH THE WILDERNESS AREA AND THE NATIONAL FOREST BY PROVIDING A BUFFER ZONE TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED ECOLOGICAL VIABILITY OF THESE FEDERAL ASSETS. BEGINNING IN 2018, THE PARK TRUST IS CONTRACTING WITH A NORTHWEST ARKANSAS-BASED LAND TRUST TO OVERSEE EASEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES ON THE PROJECT. THE LAND TRUST DID THE ANNUAL MONITORING OF THE EASEMENT IN FEBRUARY 2022, WITH NO ISSUES OR PROBLEMS FOUND. MICHIGAN: NORTH COUNTRY NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL (2021-PRESENT) THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE CONTACTED NATIONAL PARK TRUST IN 2021, SEEKING OUR HELP TO ACQUIRE A PARCEL OF LAND. THE 20 ACRES OF LAND OVER WHICH THE TRAIL RAN SOLD ON THE OPEN MARKET IN EARLY 2021. THE PREVIOUS LANDOWNERS ALLOWED THE TRAIL TO CROSS THEIR PROPERTY UNDER A "HANDSHAKE" AGREEMENT. WITHOUT A FORMAL EASEMENT, THE NEW LANDOWNER WAS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ALLOW THE TRAIL ACROSS HIS LAND. HE WOULD NOT ALLOW THE NPS TO USE HIS LAND FOR THE TRAIL, SO THE SEGMENT IS CLOSED. THE PARK TRUST NEGOTIATED WITH THE NEW OWNER TO SELL A 3-ACRE PORTION OF HIS PROPERTY WITH THE SECTION OF TRAIL TO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE SO THE TRAIL COULD BE OPEN AGAIN. THE PARK TRUST IS HOLDING THE PROPERTY UNTIL THE NPS COMPLETES ITS PROCESS AND IS ABLE TO BUY THE PROPERTY FROM THE PARK TRUST. VIRGINIA: APPALACHIAN NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL (2022-PRESENT) THE PARK TRUST WORKED WITH THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL CONSERVANCY AND THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE TO PROTECT 128 ACRES ALONG THE AT. NPS WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO TAKE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY WITHIN A TIME FRAME ACCEPTABLE TO THE OWNER, SO THE PARK TRUST BOUGHT THE PROPERTY AND IS HOLDING THE TITLE UNTIL NPS IS ABLE TO BUY IT AND INCORPORATE THE LAND INTO THE AT. MANASSAS NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD PARK (2016-PRESENT) IN 1914, 3 CIVIL WAR VETERANS FORMED A TRUST AND BOUGHT 1 ACRE OF LAND ON THE HISTORIC LOCATION OF THE SECOND BATTLE OF MANASSAS. THEY PLACED A GRANITE MONUMENT ON THE LAND TO COMMEMORATE THEIR COMMANDER, FLETCHER WEBSTER, ON THE SPOT WHERE HE FELL IN BATTLE. THE THREE MEN PASSED AWAY IN THE 1920S AND MADE NO PROVISION FOR CARE OR OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND. THE PROPERTY AROUND THE ACRE BECAME PART OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM IN 1936, BUT THIS ACRE WAS SPECIFICALLY LEFT OUT. THE PARK TRUST HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE NPS AND PRO BONO ATTORNEY ASSISTANCE TO FIND A PATHWAY, UNDER VIRGINIA LAW, TO ACCEPT OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER IT TO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE TO BECOME PART OF MANASSAS NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD PARK. THE PARK TRUST BRIEFED THE NEWLY ASSIGNED NPS REAL ESTATE SPECIALIST ON THE PROJECT IN 2022 AND DISCUSSED STRATEGIES FOR PROJECT COMPLETION. THE PROJECT IS ONGOING. INDIANA INDIANA DUNES NATIONAL PARK (2020-PRESENT) THE MARQUETTE GREENWAY IS A PROJECT TO DEVELOP A 58-MILE TRAIL ALONG THE SHORE OF LAKE MICHIGAN IN INDIANA, FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, TO NEW BUFFALO, MICHIGAN. THE TRAIL SPLITS INTO 20 SEGMENTS OF VARIOUS LENGTHS, AS DIVIDED BY THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE TRAIL IS LOCATED. THE PARK TRUST WOULD PROVIDE FUNDS FOR DUE DILIGENCE, AND QUIET TITLE ACTIONS ON 19 ABANDONED LOTS IN A SUBDIVISION. THESE LOTS WERE OWNED BY A RAILROAD COMPANY ON THE LAND THEY OWNED FOR THEIR RAILWAY, WHICH THEY FORMALLY ABANDONED. WE ARE WORKING WITH SAVE THE DUNES, A LOCAL ATTORNEY IN GARY, AND THE CITY OF GARY ON THE FIRST PHASE; 9 PARCELS IN LAKE COUNTY. THOUGH THE COUNTY IS TRANSFERRING THE LAND WITHOUT COST, IT WAS TREATED AS A TAX SALE. THE ATTORNEY HAS TAX DEEDS FOR 5 OF THE PARCELS AND HAS DONE A QUIET TITLE ON THEM. THE ATTORNEY ACQUIRED TAX DEEDS FOR THE NEXT 4 IN NOVEMBER 2022 AND WILL BEGIN A QUIET TITLE ACTION IN 2023; WHEN THEY ARE FINISHED, THE LAND WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO NPS. THE SECOND PHASE OF 10 PARCELS SHOULD BEGIN IN FEBRUARY 2023. WHEN THAT PHASE IS FINISHED, THOSE PARCELS WILL ALSO COMPLETE THE ACQUISITION OF THE NPS CONTRIBUTION TO THE MARQUETTE GREENWAY. MARYLAND MONOCACY NATIONAL BATTLEFIELD (2018-PRESENT) THERE ARE TWO CIVIL WAR MONUMENTS AND ACCOMPANYING LAND THAT REMAIN IN THE OWNERSHIP OF THE RESPECTIVE STATES OF ORIGIN OF THE MILITARY UNITS ENGAGED IN THE BATTLE. THEY ARE THE NEW JERSEY AND VERMONT MONUMENTS. THE PARK TRUST WORKED TO FIND THE PROPERTY DEEDS AND POINT OF CONTACT WITH EACH STATE. WE WORKED WITH THE PARK SUPERINTENDENT TO DEVELOP A COURSE OF ACTION AND NPS TO PROCEED. WE CONTACTED NJ STATE PARKS AND THE VT STATE PRESERVATION OFFICE, BOTH OF
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	WHICH WERE WILLING TO WORK WITH THE PARK TRUST TO MAKE THE TRANSFERS. A PRO BONO ATTORNEY IS SUPPORTING THE LEGAL PROCESS OF ELIMINATING A DEED RESTRICTION THAT SAYS THE PROPERTY CAN NEVER BE SOLD; THOUGH COMMONLY ACCEPTED TO BE A VOID CONDITION, A COURT JUDGMENT MAY BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE IT FROM THE DEED FORMALLY. THE STATE OF VERMONT HAS PASSED LEGISLATION TO AUTHORIZE THE TRANSFER TO THE NPS. THE PROJECTS ARE ONGOING. THE PARK TRUST BRIEFED THE NEWLY ASSIGNED NPS REAL ESTATE SPECIALIST ON THE PROJECT IN 2022. CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, MD (2017-PRESENT) THE C&O CANAL SUPERINTENDENT IDENTIFIED A 2-ACRE PROPERTY ADJACENT TO NPS LAND ON WHICH ARE THE RUINS OF THE SENECA STONE MILL. THE TWO ACRES APPEARED AS AN EXHIBIT ON A DEED TO THE STATE OF MARYLAND, WHICH ALSO NOTED IT WAS INTENDED TO BE TRANSFERRED TO NPS; THE TRANSFER NEVER HAPPENED. BOARD MEMBER RAY SHERBILL ASSISTED THROUGH HIS FIRM WITH GETTING A TITLE REPORT THAT POINTED TO THE STATE AS THE OWNER OF THE PARCEL. THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF MARYLAND INITIALLY FELT THE STATE DID NOT OWN THE PROPERTY. AFTER A REVIEW OF THE TITLE REPORT AND DEEDS, THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL CHANGED HIS POSITION, GIVING THE OPINION THAT THE STATE OWNED THE PROPERTY AND WOULD BE WILLING TO TRANSFER IT DIRECTLY TO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE. THE STATE ESTIMATED THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PROCESS WOULD BE FINISHED IN SEPTEMBER 2019, AFTER WHICH THE MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES WILL COMPLETE THE PROCESS. THE STATE HAS COMPLETED ITS PREPARATIONS AND IS AWAITING THE NPS TO COMPLETE ITS PART OF THE PROCESS FOR THE TRANSFER. THE PARK TRUST BRIEFED THE NEWLY ASSIGNED NPS REAL ESTATE SPECIALIST ON THE PROJECT IN 2022. FORT WASHINGTON PARK (2020-2022) THE OWNER OF THE REMAINING 4 ACRES OF PRIVATE LAND AT FORT WASHINGTON PARK (A UNIT OF NATIONAL CAPITAL PARKS EAST) WISHED TO DONATE IT TO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE BUT DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE TIME AND EXPENSE REQUIRED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE PARK TRUST STEPPED IN TO ASSIST, COMPLETING THE OWNERSHIP RESEARCH TO VERIFY LEGAL OWNERSHIP AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT TO SHOW THERE WAS NO CONTAMINATION OF THE SITE. THE PARK TRUST ACCEPTED OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY AND HELD IT WHILE THE NPS PERFORMED THE LEGAL REVIEWS NECESSARY FOR THE TRANSFER. WHEN ALL REQUIREMENTS WERE MET, THE PARK TRUST DONATED THE PROPERTY TO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE IN MAY 2022. FORT WASHINGTON BEGAN LIFE DURING THE WAR OF 1812, REMAINING A MILITARY INSTALLATION UNTIL 1946. THE 4 ACRES HAVE BEEN THE ONLY PRIVATE PROPERTY SINCE 1917, WHEN THE REMAINING ACREAGE AROUND IT WAS SOLD TO THE UNITED STATES. NEW MEXICO PECOS NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK (2019-PRESENT) THERE ARE SEVERAL PROPERTIES OUTSIDE THE PARK BOUNDARY THE NPS COULD EASILY ACQUIRE FOR PECOS NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK IF THE BOUNDARY OF THE PARK WERE ADJUSTED. THERE ARE FIVE PROPERTIES, TOTALING ABOUT 100 ACRES, ACTUALLY OWNED BY THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE BUT CANNOT BE MANAGED BY OR INCLUDED IN PECOS NHP. THE NPS HAS FUNDS TO BUY ABOUT 198 ACRES OF UNDEVELOPED PROPERTY ADJACENT TO THE PARK. A LOCAL OWNER ALSO WANTS TO DONATE ABOUT 26 ACRES OF ADJACENT PROPERTY. THE NPS IS HOPING TO GET A BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT. UNDER FEDERAL LAW, CONGRESS MUST MAKE THE CHANGE IF THERE ARE MORE THAN 200 ACRES OF PROPERTY OR IF THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY IS MORE THAN $750,000, SO CONGRESS MUST ACT IN THIS CASE. THE PARK TRUST PROVIDED AN INFORMATIONAL BRIEFING FOR NM SENATOR MARTIN HEINRICH TO LET HIM KNOW OF THE ISSUE, AFTER WHICH THE SENATOR'S OFFICE CONTACTED THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE WITH A FORMAL REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON NEEDED CHANGES TO THE PARK BOUNDARY. THE NPS CONTINUES TO WORK ON THIS LONG-TERM PROJECT. THE PARK TRUST CONNECTED THE NPS WITH SENATOR HEINRICH'S OFFICE AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2022 TO BRIEF THE SENATOR ON ADDITIONAL PROPOSED CHANGES/ADDITIONS TO THE PARK BOUNDARY WYOMING FORT LARAMIE NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE (2018-PRESENT) THERE IS A 12-ACRE PIECE OF LAND INSIDE THE PARK THAT DOES NOT HAVE A CLEAR OWNER. A SHIFTING RIVER CREATED THE PROPERTY, BUT IT APPEARS IT WAS NEVER SURVEYED AND INCLUDED IN THE DEED FOR THE ADJACENT PROPERTY. THE ADJACENT PROPERTY WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE NPS, AND THIS PROPERTY WAS INTENDED TO BE TRANSFERRED WITH IT. COUNTY RECORDS SHOW IT AS FEDERAL PROPERTY. THE PARK TRUST WORKED WITH NPS LANDS AND A CARTOGRAPHIC TECHNICIAN TO BRIEF THEM ON HIS RESEARCH AND OPINION THAT THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN OWNERSHIP WAS WHETHER THE LAND COULD TRANSFER TO NPS OWNERSHIP THROUGH THE PRINCIPLE OF ACCRETION OR AVULSION (COMMON LAW WHEN A RIVER CHANGES COURSE) - TWO DIFFERENT MECHANISMS. NPS AGREES WITH THE ANALYSIS AND IS REQUESTING A TECHNICAL BOUNDARY CORRECTION (A MISTAKE IN THE ORIGINAL BOUNDARY DETERMINATION) WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR (DOI) ATTORNEY'S ASSISTANCE. THE PROCESS CONTINUES, AND THE PARK TRUST DID ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND SUPPLIED THEIR FINDINGS TO NPS IN DECEMBER 2022. KANSAS FORT SCOTT NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE (2020-PRESENT) THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE CONTACTED NATIONAL PARK TRUST IN 2020 SEEKING HELP TO ACQUIRE A PARCEL OF LAND ADJACENT TO THE PARK. THE BUILDING WILL BE CONVERTED INTO THE PARK MAINTENANCE OFFICE AND SHOP. THE PROPERTY OWNER WANTED TO SELL THE PROPERTY BEFORE THE NPS WAS ABLE TO BUY IT, SO THE PARK TRUST BOUGHT AND IS HOLDING AND MAINTAINING THE PROPERTY. IT INCLUDED CONTRACTING THE APPRAISAL, TITLE RESEARCH, AND ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS TO ENSURE ALL MET NPS STANDARDS. FOR ACQUISITION. THE PARK TRUST ALSO ADMINISTERS A LEASE TO A SHERWIN WILLIAMS PAINT RETAIL OUTLET AND IS NEGOTIATING MODIFICATIONS THAT WILL MEET NPS AND DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCEPTING THE LEASE SO THE PROPERTY CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO NPS. IN 2022, THE PARK TRUST WAS ABLE TO REACH A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT ON THE LEASE WORDING AND IS AWAITING FINAL APPROVAL BY ATTORNEYS OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR SO THAT NPS CAN TAKE POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY IN 2023. COLORADO YUCCA HOUSE NATIONAL MONUMENT (2021-PRESENT) THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE REGIONAL OFFICE IN DENVER, COLORADO, CONTACTED NATIONAL PARK SEEKING HELP TO ACQUIRE 160 ACRES FOR THE YUCCA HOUSE NATIONAL MONUMENT. A LOCAL LANDOWNER WANTS TO DONATE THE PROPERTY TO THE PARK, WHICH IS NOW 33 ACRES IN AREA. THE NPS COULD NOT ACCEPT THE PROPERTY BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE THE LEGAL BOUNDARY OF THE PARK. OVER SEVERAL YEARS, WORK WENT FORWARD THE PARK BOUNDARY CHANGED; IN JANUARY 2021, CONGRESS PASSED A LAW CHANGING THE BOUNDARY TO INCLUDE 160 ACRES. DURING THE PROCESS, NPS DISCOVERED THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY WITH THE ADJACENT LANDOWNER WAS NOT ACCURATE. FOR THEM TO ACCEPT THE PROPERTY, IT WAS NECESSARY TO DO A SURVEY TO CORRECT THE PROPERTY LINES. OWNERS ON BOTH SIDES WOULD HAVE TO AGREE TO THE CHANGE. THE NPS ASKED THE PARK TRUST TO CONTRACT FOR THE SURVEY. IT WOULD BE LESS COMPLICATED AND MUCH FASTER THAN IF NPS WERE TO DO IT AND SAVE THE OWNER THE BURDEN OF ARRANGING IT. THE PARK TRUST IS ALSO ASSISTING NPS IN WRITING A BOUNDARY AGREEMENT FOR THE OWNERS. THE AGREEMENT HAS NOT YET BEEN SIGNED TO ALLOW THE SURVEY TO BE DONE; THE PROJECT CONTINUES. PUBLIC EDUCATION THE PARK TRUST UNDERTAKES AND CONDUCTS PROGRAMS TO EDUCATE AND RAISE THE PROFILE OF NATIONAL PARKS AND THEIR NEEDS WITH THE PUBLIC, PARK AGENCIES, AND CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATES.
