Chippewa National Forest Land Exchange: New Land for Conservation

This act authorizes a land exchange between the U.S. government and a private company in the Chippewa National Forest, Minnesota. The goal is to expand the protected forest area, potentially impacting recreational access and environmental conservation in the region.
Key points
The U.S. government will acquire approximately 36.7 acres of land, which will be added to the Chippewa National Forest, increasing its size.
A private company will receive approximately 17.5 acres of federal land, with an easement reserved for forest access.
The land exchange will be based on equal value, with any differences equalized by a cash payment from the private company.
All costs associated with the exchange, including appraisals and environmental assessments, will be borne by the private company.
