Federal Agencies and qualifactions for consideration

The Range of the Condor National Heritage Area (RCNHA) includes XXXX acres of the Central California area. This massive area is represented by the current California Condor's range. This area also represents the Native American Tribes that once called it home, and the many other ecologically and environmentally significant forests, animals, ocean, and marine life. Proper management and guidance of this land as a National Heritage Area requires a high level of inter-organization communication. To Consider the needs of this landmark National Heritage Area a list of federal, state, and private organizations are being considered and represented in a questionnaire. The questionnaire requires a basic level of information from each organization to better acquaint and familiarize the organization's ability, knowledge, and expertise.
