§ 1933 Natural Area Use Protection

This law says that the powers given in this chapter can't by themselves stop or cause changes to special natural areas that are listed in the Significant Natural Areas Program.

Key Takeaways

  • •Authority in this chapter does not automatically protect or change designated natural areas.
  • •Any change to those areas still needs separate approvals or laws.
  • •The chapter’s powers alone can’t stop or cause a change to a Significant Natural Area.

Example

A town wants to turn a piece of land that is part of the Significant Natural Areas Program into a new playground.

Even though the town has authority under this chapter, that authority alone doesn't block the change; the town would still need to follow other rules or get other approvals to protect or change the land.
