6/6/23

Huxtable

This Amendment does all of the following: (1) Makes clear that a use of or activity on the Warner Grant Trust Lands does not need to meet all 3 of the governing priorities (i.e. conservation, nature education, and public education) to be a permitted use or activity. (2) Makes clear that fishing and birding are permitted recreational activities in the Warner Grant Trust Lands. (3) Makes clear that a use or activity in existence on January 1, 2023, including the concession stand, the rental of facilities by organizations, or a public-private partnership that supports the 3 governing priorities, is a permitted use or activity under the Warner Grant Trust. (4) Removes a sentence on the Attorney General’s duty to enforce the Warner Grant Trust. This sentence is unnecessary given the Court of Chancery’s ruling in In re Certain Lands, 1976 Del. Ch. LEXIS 148 (Del. Ch. May 27, 1976) that the Attorney General’s duty is to enforce a charitable trust like the Warner Grant Trust.
