§ 1570 Private Land Recreation Program

In establishing the Shared Habitat Alliance for Recreational Enhancement (“SHARE”) program, it is the intent of the Legislature to encourage private landowners to voluntarily make their land available to the public for wildlife-dependent recreational activities. The Legislature further encourages private landowners to use any funds received from the SHARE program for wildlife conservation purposes on their property. The SHARE program shall be a collaborative effort by all participants to facilitate wildlife-dependent recreational activities on private land at minimal expense to the state. The Legislature declares that interested nongovernmental organizations are the key to developing, planning, and implementing the SHARE program. (Amended by Stats. 2004, Ch. 183, Sec. 110. Effective January 1, 2005.)
