What the application says

“Transfer would keep the parcel in public ownership and recreational opportunities maintained... This parcel is also open to the Yakama Indian Nation for hunting and gathering, and these activities would be restricted if the parcel was sold to private ownership.”

Verbatim from the application (application Part D), DNR's public application repository.
