Allow individual States to take back ownership, and it would remain public lands.

Then each individual State population would decide how best to maintain it, but it would necessarily need to remain the property of the public.

It doesn’t seem to affect your home state of Massachusetts much but I think the western States might have a gripe.

FWIW, OH is my home state now (I have to change that). In MA (my home at-heart), there are a lot of very well-maintained state parks. It's definitely where stewardship belongs. You also have a national seashore on Cape Cod, which is a good thing. The Cape Cod environment is fragile.

In OH you have some crazy people who won't be happy until every square foot of Cuyahoga County is paved, and pols owned by them. People are FINALLY waking up....a little.
