Description
Four states share a highland region protected by the Highlands Conservation Act, Public Law 108-421 of the 108th Congress, enacted in 2004. The states are Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The law helps them conserve priority lands and natural resources in the Highlands region, shown on a Forest Service map dated June 2004.
Congress states three purposes. First, to recognize the value of the region's water, forest, farm, wildlife, recreation, and cultural resources, and their national significance. Second, to let the Secretary of the Interior, working with the Secretary of Agriculture, give the Highlands states money to preserve high priority conservation land. Third, to continue Forest Service programs that help the states, local governments, and private forest and farm owners protect land and resources.
