Land Management Swap: Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest.

This law transfers administrative control of two specific federal land parcels in California between the Forest Service and the National Park Service. Approximately 160 acres are added to Yosemite National Park, and 170 acres are added to Stanislaus National Forest, altering the rules for public access and resource use on these specific plots. Existing rights, such as leases or permits, remain valid but will be managed by the new agency.
Key points
About 160 acres of National Forest land are now managed as part of Yosemite National Park, subjecting this area to stricter conservation rules.
About 170 acres of National Park land are now managed as part of Stanislaus National Forest, potentially allowing for a wider range of recreational or resource management activities.
The agency that previously managed the land remains responsible for cleaning up any existing hazardous substances, ensuring accountability for past contamination.
