The State of Alaska manages state land for multiple use. Some state lands such as refuges and state parks are designated for specific management purposes by the Legislature. Other lands are acquired or managed for special purposes as a result of legal settlements, grant funded acquisitions, donations, or other programs using legislatively appropriated funds. These lands provide important recreation, access, and resource management opportunities for Alaska. These lands are referred to as Other State Lands (OSL) or Limited State Holdings (LSH).
