The parcel shall be used by the conservation commission for the promotion and development of the natural resources and for the protection of Kings Brook watershed and wildlife corridor.

The parcel shall be conveyed by deed without warranties or representations by the commonwealth.

SECTION 2. No deed conveying the parcel of land described in section 1 from the commonwealth to the town of Palmer shall be valid unless it contains a reversionary clause providing that the property shall revert to the commonwealth under the care and control of the department of conservation and recreation if the property ceases to be used for the express purpose for which it was conveyed as determined by the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance.

SECTION 3. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
