(a) A request for designation of state-owned land as a natural area preserve shall be made to the director, that request specifying the area to be designated, the reasons for the designation, the proposed management strategy necessary to protect the critical environmental resources within the area, and the changes that would be required in current management practices.

Before a preserve is designated, a management plan must be approved by the director and adopted by the department managing the preserve.
