Whereas, a growing need has developed for additional State parks in
the Commonwealth of Virginia, and

Whereas, the Dismal Swamp of Virginia is unique and a part of this
virgin area should be preserved; now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. § 1. The Division of Parks of the Department of Conservation and
Economic Development is directed to make a study on the advisability of
establishing a State park in the Dismal Swamp area of Virginia and report
thereon. The recommendation of the Division shall include, if the desir-
ability of creating such park is established, the site of such park. The
Division shall complete its study and make its report to the Governor
and the General Assembly not later than October one, nineteen hundred
sixty-five.
2. There is hereby appropriated from the general fund of the State
treasury a sum, not to exceed five thousand dollars, to carry out the pur-
poses of this act. |
