Lands and Forestry Division: an Inventory of Its Records MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Minnesota State Archives NATURAL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT: Lands and Forestry Division: An Inventory of Its Records OVERVIEW Agency: Minnesota. Division of Lands and Forestry. Series Title: Records. Dates: 1934-1989. Abstract: Administrative, subject, and correspondence files covering all aspects of the division’s administration and activities. Quantity: 26.6 cubic feet (27 boxes). Location: See Detailed Description section for box locations. HISTORICAL NOTE The Division of Lands and Forestry was created within the Conservation Department when the Forestry Division was combined with the Lands Section of the former Division of Lands and Minerals [Laws 1967 c905]. The Division of Lands and Forestry was responsible for fire prevention and protection of forest lands. It also provided multiple balanced use forest management for state forest land, administered timber sales on state land, and was responsible for scaling forest products previously under the Surveyor General of Logs and Lumber. The division furnished technical assistance to private owners of forest properties, maintained campgrounds in state forests, and regulated transportation of Christmas trees. It also cooperated with the state Department of Education and other agencies in conservation education and with the Youth Conservation Division of the Corrections Department in the operation of forestry camps. Management, sale, or lease of trust fund lands outside of state forests, as well as administration of agricultural, non-agricultural, and lakeshore lands were also under the division's jurisdiction. In addition, it acted as agent for public schools and the University of Minnesota in leasing and selling lands. The division remained unchanged when the Conservation Department became the Department of Natural Resources in 1971 [Laws 1969 c1129 art3]. However, in 1975, it was split into the Division of Forestry which handles activities relating to forests, and the Bureau of Land which is responsible for acquiring land for state parks, trails, and sites for fish, wildlife, and forest management purposes; for keeping records of department-administered land; and for the leasing and sale of state lands. dnr001.inv NATURAL RESOURCES DEPT.

State Forest Recreation Areas Minnesota's 56 state forests contain over 3.2 million acres of state owned lands which are administered by the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry. State forest lands are managed to produce timber and other forest crops, provide outdoor recreation, protect watershed, and perpetuate rare and distinctive species of flora and fauna. State forests are multiple use areas that are managed to provide a sustained yield of renewable resources, while maintaining or improving the quality of the forest. Minnesota's state forests provide unlimited opportunities for outdoor recreationists to pursue a variety of outdoor activities. Berry picking, mushroom hunting, wildflower identification, nature photography and hunting are just a few of the unstructured outdoor activities which can be accommodated in state forests. For people who prefer a more structured form of recreation, Minnesota's state forests contain over 50 campgrounds, most located on lakes or canoe routes. State forest campgrounds are of the primitive type designed to furnish only the basic needs of individuals who camp for the enjoyment of the outdoors. Each campsite consists of a cleared area, fireplace and table. In addition, pit toilets, garbage cans and drinking water may be provided.
