geologic formations, and seasonal habitat for concentrations of birds and other wildlife. Local<br />
governments may wish <strong>to</strong> contact the SNA Program <strong>to</strong> inquire about the potential for SNA designation of<br />
natural areas on existing public lands, or the protection of natural areas on private lands through<br />
acquisition from willing sellers.<br />
