State buys back land once given away in Ohio
Columbus January 19 Ohio plans to buy back wild lands in Scioto county tied to a proposed forest preserve and public hunting grounds and state park. Harry Hyatt former Cleveland city forester says the land was part of a military tract handed to Revolutionary War soldiers then squandered by squatters with timber stolen. University oversight followed and a legislature bill allowed squatters to claim possession, reducing state holdings. The report notes the irony of the state now seeking to purchase land it previously surrendered and questions the value of buying back stripped, largely worthless timberland.
