The House Concurrent Resolution expresses gratitude to Pieter Van Schaik for his generous donation of over 125 acres of woodlands to the Albert C. Lord State Forest in Cavendish, Vermont. This donation, valued at $184,830, will nearly triple the size of the forest, enhancing recreational opportunities such as hunting, walking, and snowshoeing for visitors. The resolution highlights the importance of the Lord State Forest, which, despite its limited access due to surrounding private parcels, serves as a valuable natural resource for the community.

The resolution acknowledges Pieter Van Schaik as a model Vermonter who demonstrates a commitment to preserving the state's natural resources and promoting public recreation. It concludes with a directive for the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Van Schaik, formally recognizing his contribution to the enhancement of the Albert C. Lord State Forest.
