These interim core land management functions include trespass management, continued <br />beneficial use of water served to the property, keeping the property signed and fences maintained, and managing <br />vegetation to address noxious weed and fire risk. <br />Additionally, the new property owners will advance key planning and related efforts to transition the property from its <br />current use to uses aligned with the long-term goals of property acquisition, as reflected in the Washington State budget <br />proviso language, which enabled property acquisition. The landowners will continue regular meetings to share long-term <br />management plans and identify specific logistics that need to be worked out among parties.
