Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to transfer ownership of the Crossett Experimental Forest in Arkansas to the State of Arkansas if the state requests it within 180 days of the law's enactment. The forest includes the R.R. Reynolds Research Natural Area and associated facilities. As a condition of the transfer, Arkansas must designate the property as the Crossett State Forest, manage it according to state forest laws, and continue using it for forest research, education, and demonstration purposes in coordination with the University of Arkansas at Monticello and the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. The state is responsible for paying all costs associated with the transfer, including surveys and administrative expenses. If the Secretary of Agriculture determines that Arkansas fails to maintain the forest according to these requirements, the federal government can reclaim ownership after giving the state 180 days to correct the problem.
