    This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp -f {.; ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Association of Minnesota Division of Lands and Forestry Employees voted at the 1969 Annual Meeting to publish "A History of Forestry in Minne­ sota." Area Forester Joe Mockford, at that same meeting, offered $600 to help defray expenses. Since then, many people have helped make it a reality, and it is not possible for all to receive the credit they deserve. Dorothy Ewert brought the history up to date, the Grand Rapids Herald Re­ view and Chuck Wechsler of the Conservation Depart­ ment's Bureau of Information and Education helped a bunch of amateurs prepare it for printing. Ray Hitchcock, President of the Association, and Joe Gummerson ran the business end. Our thanks to all of these. "A History of Forestry in Minnesota" was com­ piled by Elizabeth Bachmann over a period of ten years. Miss Bachmann collected the data used in this publication and compiled it as a sort of legacy to the forestry fieldmen. • • I I With Parti lar Reference to restry Legislation Printed in 1965 Reprinted with Additions in 1969 i CLOQUET-MOOSE LAKE FOREST FIRE . 15 Burning Permit Law Enacted ... 19 Fire Cooperation, Weeks Law .. 19 Lands Reserved Along Lakeshores .. 19 Wm.

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.
