During the First Increment, the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program's objective was to protect, restore and maintain 10,000 acres of habitat. The Program’s long-term objective for land is to acquire land interests, restore where appropriate, and maintain and manage approximately 29,000 acres of suitable habitat along the central Platte River between Lexington and Chapman. Land acquired during the Program’s First Increment is credited to this long-term objective as will certain lands that meet criteria established by the Governance Committee but are managed by other entities, such as environmental organizations or utility and irrigation districts.
