At the initial meeting of the board, the board and The Nature Conservancy shall undertake to develop and publish a written management plan for the authority, which shall be publicly available. The board has the power to employ engineers, surveyors, conservation experts, outdoor recreation experts, management experts, and other professionals necessary for such study, and to have prepared surveys, maps, profiles, plans and descriptions, and such other data as may be necessary. The plan shall consider whether, and to what extent, lands of the authority should be owned and managed as natural areas and/or wildlife management areas by the department of environment and conservation and the wildlife management authority, respectively. The authority may, in consultation with The Nature Conservancy, thereafter biennially review, revise, and republish its management plan.
