Section 1 Findings
Congress finds as follows:
Since 1935, the United States has owned a parcel of land in Riverside, California, consisting of approximately 9.5 acres, more specifically described in section 2(a) (in this section referred to as the “property”).
The property is administered by the Department of Agriculture and has been variously used for research and plant materials purposes.
Since 1998, the property has been administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Since 2002, the property has been co-managed under a cooperative agreement between the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Riverside Corona Resource Conservation District, which is a legal subdivision of the State of California under section 9003 of the California Public Resources Code.
The Conservation District wishes to acquire the property and use it for conservation, environmental, and related educational purposes.
As provided in this Act, the conveyance of the property to the Conservation District would promote the Conservation District’s conservation education and related purposes and result in savings to the Federal Government.
