Requires forest stewardship plan for certain lands acquired for recreation and conservation purposes.

This bill requires forest stewardship plans for lands over 25 acres of forested area acquired for recreation or conservation using specific state funds (like Green Acres Program money). It applies to the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), local governments, and qualifying nonprofits, mandating plans within two years of acquisition (or five years for existing state lands). Plans must meet DEP sustainability standards and be submitted for DEP review/approval within 30 days. The DEP must prioritize funding applications from entities already implementing such plans for eligible lands. The policy change directly affects land managers using conservation funds to ensure long-term forest health.
