State Natural Areas are managed within the Bureau of Endangered Resources in the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). The definition of a "state natural area" for the program differs slightly from that used within the Bureau of Facility and Lands in the WDNR. While State Natural Areas include those parcels on which the Department has certain title rights such as fee title or easements, they also include parcels on which the Department has no title rights, such as Federal or county-owned properties or those owned by land trusts. State Natural Areas may also be located within the boundaries of other state properties, such as State Parks, Forests, Wildlife Areas, and Fisheries, but are targeted to be managed as a State Natural Area under the property's Master Plan or by a MOU. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>State Natural Areas (SNAs) are formally designated sites devoted to scientific research, the teaching of conservation biology, and especially to the preservation of their natural values and genetic diversity for future generations. Protected are outstanding examples of native natural communities, significant geological formations, and archaeological sites. State Natural Areas represent the last vestiges of natural plant and animal communities that existed prior to European settlement. Designation is achieved through purchase, cooperative agreements, legal dedication (through Articles of Dedication), management plans such as DNR Master Plans or Feasibility Studies, and/or Memoranda of Understanding.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
