    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the Santa Cruz Redwoods Public Lands contain 
        significant and diverse natural landscapes including six 
        watersheds, redwood and riparian forests, freshwater wetlands, 
        and rolling coastal terrace grasslands in the Santa Cruz 
        Mountains that should be preserved for present and future 
        generations;
            (2) the Santa Cruz Redwoods Public Lands are habitat for 
        numerous wildlife populations including endangered and rare 
        species such as the California red-legged frog, the American 
        peregrine falcon, coho salmon, and steelhead trout;
            (3) the ocean and coastal ecosystems adjacent to and 
        visible from the Santa Cruz Redwoods Public Lands are within 
        the California Coastal Monument, and contain habitat for 
        endangered and unique marine species including gray whales, sea 
        otters, and harbor seals;
            (4) the Santa Cruz Redwoods Public Lands contain threatened 
        vegetation communities such as purple needlegrass and riparian 
        red alder forest;
            (5) the Santa Cruz Redwoods Public Lands and surrounding 
        coastal lands have been used by humans since prehistoric times 
        and were historically inhabited by the native Ohlone people;
            (6) the Santa Cruz Redwoods Public Lands are historically 
        associated with adjacent lands managed for the enjoyment of 
        current and future generations, including Coast Dairies State 
        Park and Wilder Ranch State Park;
            (7) the Santa Cruz Redwoods Public Lands represent a model 
        partnership where future management can be successfully 
        accomplished among the Federal Government, State of California, 
        Santa Cruz County, local communities, and private landowners;
            (8) permanent protection of the Santa Cruz Redwoods Public 
        Lands will provide important economic benefits to surrounding 
        communities, and has broad public support in the community;
            (9) the Santa Cruz Redwoods Public Lands will make a 
        significant addition to the California Coastal National 
        Monument and National Landscape Conservation System 
        administered by the Bureau of Land Management of the Department 
        of the Interior; and
            (10) statutory protection would ensure that the Santa Cruz 
        Redwoods Public Lands remain a part of the historical, 
        cultural, and natural heritage of the United States and a 
        source of inspiration for the people of the United States.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to protect, conserve, and 
enhance for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations 
the unique and nationally important historical, natural, cultural, 
scientific, educational, and scenic values of the Santa Cruz Redwoods 
Public Lands, while allowing certain recreational and research
