2003 Forest Legacy Program Implementation Guidelines
The Forest Service is issuing a notice of the availability for the 2003 Forest Legacy Program Implementation Guidelines. These guidelines were last updated in 1996. The Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 (CFAA) authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture, through the Forest Service to develop, in cooperation with interested States, a Forest Legacy Program to identify and protect environmentally important private forest lands that are threatened by conversion to non-forest uses. The Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 amended the CFAA to provide for optional grants for States to carry out the program.
