...259.041 Acquisition of state-owned lands for preservation, conservation, and recreation purposes.....


(11)(a) The Legislature finds that, with the increasing pressures on the natural areas of this state and on open space suitable for recreational use, the state must develop creative techniques to maximize the use of acquisition and management funds. The Legislature also finds that the state's conservation and recreational land acquisition agencies should be encouraged to augment their traditional, fee simple acquisition programs with the use of alternatives to fee simple acquisition techniques. Additionally, **the Legislature finds that generations of private landowners have been good stewards of their land [, protecting or restoring native habitats and ecosystems to the benefit of the natural resources of this state, its heritage, and its citizens. The Legislature also finds that using alternatives to fee simple acquisition by public land acquisition agencies will achieve the following public policy goals:

1. Allow more lands to be brought under public protection for preservation, conservation, and recreational purposes with less expenditure of public funds....

[the following says it all. The royal 'They' will 'allow' people to act as volunteer groundskeepers on their formerly private property, where the royal 'they' deem it 'appropriate'.]

3. Reduce long-term management costs by allowing private property owners to continue acting as stewards of their land, where appropriate.
