Our evaluation found that, while its long-range plans propose significant future land acquisitions, the Department of Natural Resources appears to lack adequate resources to manage and maintain its current land holdings. The report recommends that the department prepare long-range budget plans for the Legislature that compare the ongoing land management needs to available funding. These analyses will help the Legislature assess the financial feasibility of acquiring additional land.
