Glacier National Park. 1985. Land protection plan, Glacier National Park. National Park Service
In May of 1982 the Department of the Interior published in the Federal Register a new policy statement for the "Use of the Federal Portion of the Land and Water Conservation Fund". This new policy applies to the National Park Service and among other things, requires that all Land Acquisition Plans be updated and revised to (1) change the name to "Land Protection Plan"; (2) more specifically identify the lands which need to be in Federal ownership to achieve management purposes and public objectives; (3) use, to the minimum extent possible, cost effective alternatives to direct Federal purchase and, when acquisition is necessary, acquire only the minimum interest needed to meet management objectives; (4) cooperate with landowners, other Federal, State and local governments and the private sector to manage land for public uses or protect it for resource conservation, and; (5) assure that the plans for land acquisition and resource use or protection consider the attendant socio-cultural impacts and that the most outstanding areas are adequately managed .
