Abstract: This project provides negotiation support to the Trustee Council in order to reach closure on habitat protection priorities. This support includes title reports, appraisals, on-site inspections, hazardous materials surveys, land surveys, timber cruises and reviews, and other services necessary for the successful completion of habitat protection negotiations. The Council has completed acquisition packages with 11 large parcel landowners resulting in the protection of over 635,000 acres of land. Negotiations are continuing with Koniag, Inc. for acquisition of fee title to the 55,402 acres that are now under a limited conservation easement slated to expire in 2001. In addition, the Council has reached closure on the acquisition of 47 small parcels encompassing 7,240 acres. Negotiations and closing activities continue with multiple phases of several large parcel acquisitions and several small parcel landowners.
