§ 1571 Share Program Definitions

This law just tells you what certain words mean when they talk about the SHARE program, like what counts as an agreement, a partnership, a private landowner, the program itself, and wildlife‑related activities.

Key Takeaways

  • •The word “Agreement” covers contracts, licenses, easements, memorandums of understanding, leases, and more.
  • •A “Partnership” means the state department works together with NGOs and others, putting in money or other help, to run the SHARE program.
  • •A “Private landowner” is anyone who owns land that can be used for hunting, fishing, wildlife watching, or education.
  • •The “Program” being talked about is the SHARE program.
  • •“Wildlife‑dependent recreational activities” include hunting, fishing, watching wildlife, and teaching people about conservation.

Example

A farmer who owns a piece of land that could be used for hunting signs a lease with the state wildlife department so hunters can use part of his property.

The lease is an “Agreement,” the farmer is a “Private landowner,” and the deal is part of a “Partnership” under the SHARE program that lets people do hunting, which is a “wildlife‑dependent recreational activity.”
