Forest land for public use drives national plan
The article argues for expanding federal purchase of cutover land to form National Forests, citing about 3,000,000 acres already bought mainly in the East and plans for millions more in the Lake States. It notes tax-delinquent land reverting to states and counties, with Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin facing large acreages. It calls for policy to accelerate acquisition, fund public forests, and treat organic matter as vital, asserting forests’ broad ecological and climate roles beyond timber.
