In this case, enjoying the VIEWSHED is a recreation opportunity for the PARK visitors. o To protect a wildlife corridor for current and future generations, where visitors of the existing PARK come to enjoy watching wildlife. Development: DEVELOPMENT of RECREATION FEATURES must be for outdoor recreation. LWCF funds are intended to increase outdoor recreational opportunities for the health and wellness of Californians.
