State Forestry Plan Proposed By Iowa Commission
The Iowa State Conservation Commission discussed a four point program to guide the state forestry program. Proposed by conservation director G L Ziemer, the plan aims to set aside suitable state owned forest lands as preservation units, rehabilitate remaining lands for eventual private ownership, partner on research to protect private lands, and subsidize private wood lots with low cost planting stock. The proposals align with Dr Ira Gabrielson’s survey of Iowa conservation for the National Wildlife Management Institute.
