- The designation helps the area get federal money and technical help to preserve its natural beauty and local history. This can help boost local tourism and protect the environment.
- A local non-profit group will be in charge of the area. They have three years to come up with a plan for how to use the federal support and manage the land.
- The federal government will provide this support for 15 years. After that, the local group will need to find other ways to keep the programs running.
