Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park is located in Vermont and celebrates the natural and cultural history of land conservation. The park tells the stories of how people have interacted with the land through exhibits, ranger-led programs, and special events. The park was established in 1992 to preserve the farm and estate of George Perkins Marsh, an early advocate for conservation. The park is also home to the Rockefeller family's former summer estate, which was donated to the park service by Laurance S. Rockefeller in 2002. The park also offers opportunities for recreation, such as hiking, picnicking, and cross-country skiing. In addition, the park is home to a working farm that uses sustainable agriculture practices. The farm provides visitors with a chance to learn about food production and land stewardship.

Highland Recreation Area
Highland Recreation Area offers 5,900 acres of forest, marshes and lakes in the rolling hills of Southern Michigan with 45 miles of trails to accommodate equestrian riders, mountain bikers, hikers and skiers. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR), which owns and operates Highland, describes the recreation area as a parcel of forest, wetland, and kettle lakes primarily operated for light camping and drive-in/drive-out recreational day use. The 721-acre Haven Hill Natural Area and National Natural Landmark is an area within the park that, according to MDNR, contains "all of southern Michigan's principal forest types within one small area, including swamp forest of tamarack, cedar, beech-maple forest, oak-hickory forest, and mixed hardwood forest." Haven Hill was the estate of auto magnate Edsel Ford, who preserved it as a natural area until his death in 1943 when MDNR took over.

Fossil Cycad NM
Fossil Cycad National Monument was a national monument in South Dakota, established in 1922 to protect an area containing the largest and most diverse collection of fossilized cycads in the world. Originally consisting of 320 acres, and administered through Wind Cave National Park, the monument was managed by the National Park Service until 1957, when it was withdrawn as a national monument and transferred to the Bureau of Land Management. One reason the site was withdrawn was that it was relatively small and didn't meet the criteria for a separate unit of the National Park System. Additionally, the fossilized cycads that the monument was established to protect were already included within the boundaries of Badlands National Park. Finally, there were concerns about the condition of the fossilized cycads, many of which had been removed, vandalized, or damaged by weathering and erosion. Although many of the cycads excavated from that area are on display at various scientific institutions such as Yale University, the Smithsonian, and South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Fossil Cycad National Monument serves as an historic example of how poor planning, poor management, lack of supervision, and non-existent federal enforcement against theft on public lands can spell disaster for an area of land intended to be preserved from development
