	CAN BATTLEFIELDS BE BETTER PROTECTED?
		Battlefield land owners need better incentives and opportunities to be effective stewards of their historic land through being able to keep the land, care for its historic elements, and provide opportunities to people to view the historic landscape.
		Once battlefield lands are securely in private ownership and their historic features are stabilized or maintained by the owner, there is a need from time to time for public access to see and enjoy the historic site.
		The Commission's inventory documentation will be compiled in suitable formats and be made available to state and local governments over the coming months by the NPS American Battlefield Protection Program; the ABPP also plans to continue to enlarge and refine this inventory data.
