    The property currently designated as the Elk river natural area preserve is transferred from management under chapter 79.70 RCW as a natural area preserve to management under chapter 79.71 RCW as a natural resources conservation area.  The legislature finds that hunting is a suitable low-impact public use within the Elk river natural resources conservation area.  The department of natural resources shall incorporate this legislative direction into the management plan developed for the Elk river natural resources conservation area.  The department shall work with the department of fish and wildlife to identify hunting opportunities compatible with the area's conservation purposes.
