in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior may let former landowners stay on and farm their old land at the battlefield. In return, they must preserve the buildings, roads, and landscape as they are. They must also help protect monuments and only cut trees under the Secretary's rules.

The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to make agreements, on whatever nominal terms the Secretary sets, with people who used to own the land and want to keep living there. Under such an agreement, they may occupy and farm their former holdings, but they must preserve the existing buildings and roads and the existing layout of fields and forest. They may only cut trees or underbrush following rules the Secretary sets, and they must help care for and protect all tablets, monuments, and other structures that are put up on the battlefield by proper authority.
