17 Pa. Code § 44.2 - Designation
(a) Offers of land
donations to the Department will be reviewed by a Department team to determine
acceptance and assignment to either the Bureau of State Parks or the Bureau of
Forestry. The team will consider characteristics of the land under §
44.3 (relating to consideration of
land for designation), costs of management of the land, benefits to the
Department and benefits to the public.
(b) Depending on the designation at the time
of acquisition, a conservation area will be considered as either a State park
or a State forest for the purpose of applicability of statutes and
regulations.
(c) To provide the
donor with an opportunity to participate in conservation efforts, the
Department may accept restrictive covenants in the deed of
conveyance.
(d) Designation as a
conservation area will be made by letter to the donor accepting the gift. The
letter will be signed by the Secretary. It will describe a purpose,
characteristic or feature of the land upon which the designation of
conservation area is based.
