As a rule, these lands fall in Class III, <br />Minimally, this zone includes (1) all additional lands considered <br />essential to "buffer" or insure the full protection of all those lands <br />included in Zone 1 (Public-use and Development); and (2) those <br />lands needed to accommodate uses of less intensity than those <br />included in Zone 1. Occasionally, this zone may include lands of <br />historical or cultural significance (Class VI). For example, there <br />may be a historic home, or group of homes, which contributes to <br />the national significance of the area but which is privately owned <br />and occupied and may, consistent with the purpose of the area, <br />remain so, On rare occasions, this zone may contain natural <br />features (Class I V) and primitive lands (Class V). For example, <br />there may be research areas owned and managed by institutions of <br />higher learning or scientific organizations which, consistent with <br />the purpose of the area, may continue in this manner, The Service <br />will seek such title or interest in lands within this zone as is <br />required to achieve the foregoing objectives. In most instances, full <br />fee title should be acquired. Often, such acquisitions may provide <br />for life tenancy or continued occupancy for specified periods.

In these respects, therefore. the <br />lands in this zone are similar to those in Zone 2, The most obvious <br />distinction between the two, however. is that lands in Zone 3 serve <br />primarily a local or community purpose and their contributions to <br />the public use of the historical area are secondary_ The reverse <br />situation is true of the lands in Zone -2.
