Your state forests are managed under the policy of multiple-use in order to obtain benefits from recreation, timber production, and watershed protection. They are open to the public for hunting during the season and are actively managed for healthy fish and wildlife populations. Recreational development will not take precedence over natural resource conservation and protection and will continue to be structured on the natural rather than the "built" environment.
