Green Mountain National Forest Land Adjustment Act of 2005
Summary
The Green Mountain National Forest Land Adjustment Act of 2005 authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to sell or exchange five specific parcels of federal land within the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont. The bill directs the government to offer these lands to the Bromley Mountain Ski Resort, Inc., allowing for potential private development or expansion of the resort area.
The proceeds from these sales would be reinvested into public land projects, specifically to fund the relocation of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the Long National Recreation Trail. Additionally, the funds would be used to acquire new conservation lands and wetlands to offset any environmental loss, ensuring that the total acreage and ecological health of the National Forest System are maintained for public use.
