Abstract:
- The relatively long and varied land history of Massachusetts, culminating in large scale farm abandonment and vast areas of cut-over land, together with the low limits of purchase price as specified in legislative enactments for the acquisition of State forest land, has almost wholly determined the character and condition of the State Forests at the present time.
