  § 45-0111. Functions, powers and duties.
    The  trustee  shall have the duty of assisting the legislature and the
  governor in implementing the policy of the state as set forth in section
  4 of article XIV of the State Constitution, and in order  to  carry  out
  such purposes he shall have the following functions, powers and duties:
    1.  To  recommend  to the Governor and legislature real property to be
  included in the preserve. In making such  recommendations,  the  trustee
  shall  first find that such real property qualifies for inclusion in the
  preserve because of its natural  beauty,  wilderness  character  or  its
  geological,  ecological or historical significance.  Such recommendation
  shall include, where appropriate, the estimated value  or  cost  of  the
  real  property,  justification  for  its  inclusion in the preserve, and
  provision  for  management,  care,  custody  and  control  of  the  real
  property.  Such  real  property  may include, but not be limited to real
  property presently owned in the name  of  the  state,  unconditional  or
  conditional  grants,  gifts  and bequests to the state of real property,
  and real property recommended by the trustee for acquisition.
    2. To prepare and submit an annual report  to  the  Governor  and  the
  legislature on or before February first on the activities of the trust.
    3.  To  undertake  research  and  studies related to activities of the
  trust.
    4. To maintain a current inventory of all real property which has been
  dedicated to the preserve.
    5. To request any state agency to render assistance  in  carrying  out
  the  purposes  of this article. Any state agency is authorized to render
  such assistance to the trustee.
    6. To make such rules and regulations as  the  trustee  may  determine
  necessary  for  the  purposes  of  properly  carrying out his functions,
  powers and duties, and to do all  things  necessary  or  convenient  for
  carrying out the foregoing functions.
