House concurrent resolution thanking Pieter Van Schaik for his special land donation to the Albert C. Lord State Forest in Cavendish
This bill is a formal expression of gratitude from the Vermont General Assembly to Pieter Van Schaik for donating over 125 acres of land to the Albert C. Lord State Forest. The donation will nearly triple the size of the existing 64-acre forest, which is currently surrounded by private property and has limited public access. By adding this new woodland, the gift aims to significantly expand opportunities for recreational activities such as hunting, walking, and snowshoeing. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the thanks to Mr. Van Schaik as a recognition of his contribution to the state's natural resources.

MINOR
This is a formatting-only change between two versions of the same concurrent resolution. The text content is identical; only the document layout, header style, and line wrapping differ. The bill thanks Pieter Van Schaik for donating over 125 acres (valued at $184,830) to the Albert C. Lord State Forest in Cavendish, Vermont.
TECHNICAL
Header changed from a simple reference number and page format to a formal state document header including 'State of Vermont,' 'House of Representatives,' and 'Montpelier, Vermont.'
Line wrapping adjusted throughout due to different column width in the official version; no words were added or removed.
Internal reference number 'VT LEG #389336 v.1' was removed from the footer.
