    PRIVATE MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL LANDSCAPES: CHALLENGES AT LAKE WINFIELD SCOTT RECREATION AREA by MARY C. SCALES ENGLISH (Under the Direction of Eric A. MacDonald) ABSTRACT Lake Winfield Scott Recreation Area was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1935 and 1942. This thesis evaluates the developmental history, the importance of constructed features as they relate to the natural environment, and highlights the role of private management at this federally-owned recreation site. Analysis considers the potential costs and benefits of the private-public management model, known as a concession or special-use agreement, to determine the efficacy of such management when preserving and conserving cultural landscapes. Ultimately, the goal of this thesis is to provide a substantive analysis of cultural landscape management of sites like Lake Winfield Scott. Through the private-public concessionaire model of management, this cultural landscape has persisted for nearly 80 years. As the political climate surrounding public lands continues to shift, perhaps alterations to the management structure of public lands is in order.
