A NATIONAL PLAN FOR AMERICAN FORESTRY 



TABLE 9. State-owned forest land not under administration as State forests and 

 parks, by regions and States, 1932 1 



1 Exclusive of an estimated area of about 1 1,700,000 acres of tax-reverted land, mostly in the South region, 

 the status of which is very unstable and uncertain, except for 1,250,000 acres in Michigan which is definitely 

 in State hands. 



2 No lands reported for Arkansas, Florida, and Virginia in the South region; Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, 

 Tennessee, and West Virginia in the Central region; North Dakota in the Lake region; and Nevada in the 

 South Rocky Mountain region. 



3 State institution lands, Indian lands, etc. 



4 These are lands in unorganized towns held in trust by the State for school purposes, until such time 

 as the towns may become organized. 



5 Incomplete. 



6 80 percent forested. 



7 State game reserve lands. 



8 State penal institutions. 



6 In fish hatcheries, game farms, game refuges, only partly forested. 



10 State institution lands, 3,500 acres; game preserves, 18,479 acres. 



11 Game refuges, 1,700 acres, and forest property of the agricultural college, 15,000 acres. 



12 State university land; possibly 10,000 to 20,000 acres of school land in counties. 



13 Policy is to manage all forest land as permanent properties. Land alone is rarely worth statutory 

 minimum price of $10 per acre. 



14 Forested State land is not subject to sale. Timber can be sold.
