Why isnt the Game Commission being considered for ownership of the entire parcel?

0

As with Fish and Boat, the Game Commission has a specific charge. It is tasked with managing the States wildlife, wildlife habitat and wildlife protection. The Game Commission has significant holdings across the Commonwealth in the form of State Game lands that are open to the public for a number of activities. On the surface, it would seem that the Commission would be very suitable for consideration as an owner. Yet, like all State agencies, they are focused on efforts that will enhance only their area of interest in this case, wildlife. Game Commission representatives have stated they have no interest in reforestation of the already open ag lands because they wish to promote small game hunting. They do not wish to destroy that habitat in favor of improving the habitat for endangered species. In addition, it should be noted that the State will retain ownership of several parcels of the 1800-acre parent tract. The State has not been willing to consider giving these parcels to the Game
