Bureau of Indian Affairs
The Bureau of Indian Affairs is responsible for
a wide range of activities designed to conserve and utilize nat-

ural resources on Indian lands. The Bureau offers financial and

technical assistance to the Indians in developing the recreation

resources of their lands. Most of these lands are not public,

however, and are developed as though they were privately owned.

Soil Conservation Service

The Soil Conservation Service is responsible for

recreation leadership and guidance in three multi-purpose programs;

The Resource Conservation and Development pro-

jects call for stepped up programs to increase local economic

opportunities. Recreation assistance is provided through local

Soil and Water Conservation Districts and other local sponsoring

groups, who assume responsibility and initiate action necessary

to promote conservation and development of an area.

Under provisions of the Food and Agriculture Act

of 1962, an amendment to Public Law 566, the Watershed Protection

and Flood Prevention (Small Watershed) Act of 19S4, the Depart-

ment of Agriculture, through the Soil Conservation Service,

shares with State and local agencies half the cost of construc-

tion, land rights, sanitary facilities, and other basic facili-
ties needed for access to and enjoyment of recreation areas to be

managed by these State and local sponsors for public recreation.
