First National Forest Likely In Chippewa County Michigan
The first national forest in Michigan is likely to be formed in Chippewa County on about 20,000 acres of withdrawn government land. H O Stabler of the forest service recommended the tract to Gifford Pinchot after a thorough survey of land in eleven northwestern counties. The move would mark 140,000 acres withdrawn in Michigan this year and aims to demonstrate reforestation potential to promote pine growth and forest management.
