  § 49-0101. Legislative findings.
    The legislature hereby finds and declares that:
    The  state  enjoys  an  abundance of natural and man-made beauty which
  greatly  enriches  the  lives  of  the  people  of  this  state.     The
  preservation,  enhancement  and promotion of this beauty will contribute
  significantly to the enjoyment of the people who live and  work  in  the
  state,  as  well  as the millions of visitors who come to the state each
  year. Further efforts by state government are needed to  coordinate  and
  promote programs contributing to the natural and man-made beauty, and to
  provide advice and assistance to local governments.
