1891 - 2012 

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM

A Brief History

The National Forest System (NFS) was started when the Nation's public land policy moved 

from the disposition to the conservation era. The concept of reserving Federal lands for 

National Forest purposes in the late 1800's was driven by the need to protect the valuable 

mountainous, watershed lands from indiscriminate over-grazing and cutting of timber. Passage 

of two laws dealing with reservation of Federal lands, Section 24 of the Act of March 30, 1891, 

and the organic provisions of the 1897 Act, followed two decades of congressional debate of 

over 200 bills on public land policy. Section 24 of the 1891 Act was commonly referred to as 

the Forest Reserve Act of 1891 and the organic provisions in the 1897 Act are commonly 

referred to by the Forest Service as the Organic Administration Act.

The first National Forest, the Yellowstone Park Timber Land Reserve (mostly within the 

Shoshone National Forest), in Wyoming, was established by Proclamation dated March 30, 

1891, signed by President Benjamin Harrison under Section 24 of the Act of March 3, 1891, 26 

Stat. 1103. He also signed Proclamations creating 14 additional reservations for a gross 

acreage of 13 million acres.

President James Cleveland created 15 more reserves, with a gross area of 25.8 million acres. 

Thirteen of those 15 forest reserves were created by Cleveland just before he left office, 

creating heavy debate and Congressional attempts to restore them to the public domain. Even 

though the Yellowstone was the first forest reservation in the United States, it is not the oldest 

Federal Forest Reserve in the NFS. Fifteen, years before the Yellowstone was created, the 

Spanish Crown created a Federal Forest Reserve in Puerto Rico which later (1903) became a 

part of the Luquillo Forest Reserve now part of the El Yunque National Forest.

President Theodore Roosevelt, while not responsible for creating the first forest reserves, 

deserves his reputation as the pioneer in conserving America's natural resources. He 

emphasized conservation in lieu of exploitation. He was responsible for setting aside and 

reserving many more millions of acres of public lands for National Forests than did his 

predecessors. National Forests established during his Presidency make up the bulk of the 

162,820,984 acres of existing National Forests that were set aside and reserved from the public 

domain.

Although the 1891 Act gave the President authority to create Forest Reserves, provisions for 

administration of the Reserves were not enacted until Congress provided the organic provisions 

in the Act of March 4, 1897. Under the 1897 Act, the Secretary of the Interior was charged 

with the administration of the Forest Reserves. These duties, with the exception of certain land 

disposal authorities, were turned over to the Secretary of Agriculture by the Transfer Act of 

February 1, 1905. The Receipts Act of March 4, 1907, changed the name of Forest Reserves to 

National Forest and withdrew the President's authority to create National Forests in certain 

western states.

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM

A Brief History

(Continued)

The public policy of the Federal Government to acquiring lands for protection and 

administration gained impetus in the eastern states between 1905 and 1908. During this period, 

eastern lumber companies holding large acreages of cutover lands wanted the opportunity to 

sell their land holdings to the United States. Public concern was increasing as the result of the 

destructive effect of poor logging, mining, and farming practices on fragile watershed lands. In 

response to the need to stabilize watershed conditions, Congress enacted the Weeks Act of 

March 1, 1911. The Weeks Act provided for the purchase of lands in the watershed of navigable 

streams for watershed protection and timber production and provided authority for the Secretary 

of Agriculture to designate such lands for permanent retention as National Forests. Eastern 

land purchases under the Weeks Act peaked prior to World War II.

During the 1920s and 1930s, critical agricultural problems were being caused by the cultivation 

of large acreages of sub-marginal farm land that could not profitably grow crops. Personal 

hardships were commonplace and severe droughts, floods; erosion, poor cultivation practices, 

neglect, and frequently abandonment were damaging the land. Because of the extent of the 

problems, the Secretary of Agriculture set up a National Conference on Land Utilization in 

1931. Under subsequent emergency relief and industrial recovery acts in the early 1930s and the 

Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act of 1937, a total of 11.3 million acres in 253 Land Utilization 

(LU) project areas were acquired through voluntary sales to the United States by the end of the 

acquisition program in 1946. Many of these Federal lands were transferred to a variety of other 

Federal and State agencies for management as forests, grassland pastures and ranges, park and 

recreation areas and wildlife management areas. From 1938 to 1954, the Soil Conservation 

Service administered the LU areas retained by the Secretary of Agriculture except for 1 million 

acres assigned to the Forest Service. On January 2, 1954, the Secretary of Agriculture assigned 

all of the approximately 8.8 million acres of LU project lands to the Forest Service for 

management under provisions of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act of 1937. Since that 

time, an additional 3.5 million acres were transferred to other Federal and State agencies. 1.5 

million acres were given National Forest status, and 3.8 million acres were permanently set 

aside as National Grasslands. A record of the establishment and disposition of the Land 

Utilization Projects, and establishment of National Grasslands accompanies this document.

The Land and Water Conservation Fund (L&WCF) Act of 1965 stemmed from the Outdoor 

Recreation Review Commission's recommendation to provide additional public outdoor 

recreation land. The Act earmarks, subject to appropriation, receipts from offshore oil, sale of 

surplus property, and recreation user fees, for Federal and State land purchases "to assist in 

preserving, developing and assuring accessibility to all citizens of the United States of 

America of present and future generations...such quality and quantity of outdoor recreation 

resources as may be desirable for individual active participation." The L&WCF is currently the 

primary method of funding Forest Service land purchase.

(Continued)

The Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resource Planning Act of 1974 (RPA) defined the 

National Forest System (NFS) to include National Forest, National Grasslands, Land 

Utilization Projects and Research, Administrative sites and other lands.

As of September 30, 2012, NFS lands included 188,293,938 acres of National Forest; 389,053 

acres of Purchase Units; 3,838,280 acres of National Grasslands; 847 acres of Land Utilization 

Projects; 64,727 acres of Research and Experimental Areas; 300,182 acres of Other Areas, and 

89,716 acres of National Preserves, for a total of 192,976,743 NFS acres. Intermingled with 

these NFS lands is an additional 39,918,949 acres of other federal land, Tribal, State, local, 

corporate and private lands.

Preface

This compilation has been made in recognition of the need for a convenient reference list of 

the authentic Governmental actions under which the individual National Forests were 

established, their boundaries subsequently modified, or their status altered. It provides a 

comprehensive, chronologic list of official actions affecting Federal Forest Reserves and 

National Forest, citing the supporting documents required to trace the legal history of each to 

September 30, 1996. Land exchanges, donations, and transfers affecting the National Forest 

boundaries are not cited because of the number of actions and the complexity of assembling 

accurate data. Many forests are grouped together for administration, but have not been 

officially consolidated. These changes are not listed here. Research and Experimental areas are 

also not listed here.

Following the Chronologic Record is Exhibit 1 which includes a listing of special boundary 

extension authorities with an alphabetical index of the National Forests. The listing also 

provides reference to the pages on which actions affecting a particular National Forest are 

cited.

Enclosed also are 4 addenda. Addendum 1 discusses the purpose and creation of land utilization-projects. Addendum 2 lists the national grassland and land utilization projects within 

the NFS designated by the Secretary of Agriculture. Addendum 3 lists the lands transferred in 

land utilization projects from the Department of Agriculture to other federal departments made 

prior to assumption of jurisdiction by the Forest Service and without specific reversionary 

provisions. Addendum 4 summarizes the lands transferred to states with public use 

reservations.

LAND UTILIZATION PROJECTS

ADDENDUM 1

In 1934 under an Executive Order, President Roosevelt set up funds in the Federal Emergency Relief

Administration for a sub marginal land purchase program. The plan called for the purchase of sub marginal

agricultural land to be retired from production and made available for Indian, park , forest, migratory bird

refuge and agricultural adjustment purposes . Provision was made for improving the areas as purchased 

through Public Works that the lands might be put to the highest use to which they were best suited.

In June 1935 all of this activity was transferred to the Resettlement Administration . On January 1,

1937, the Resettlement Administration was transferred to the Department of Agriculture and given the 

designation, the Farm Security Administration. Prior t o this transfer, all lands earmarked for park

purposes had been turned over to the Park Service, Department of the Interior, for administration. On July

22, 1937, the Bankhead-James Act was passed and administration of the Act placed in the Bureau of

Agricultural Economics and on June 9, 1938, the balance of these lands was transferred by Executive Order

to the Bureau of Agricultural Economicsfor administration under Title Ill. With the reorganization of the

Department o f Agriculture in October 1938, the administration was again shifted to the Soil Conservation

Service (SCS). Title III of this Act furnished the first basic legislation covering the purchase and development

of sub marginal farm land.

Under Section 31, Title III of the Bankhead-James Act stated, "[T]he Secretary is authorized and directed to

develop a program of land conservation and land utilization, including the retirement of lands which are sub 

marginal or not primarily suitable for cultivation, in order thereby to correct in adjustment in land use, and

thus assist in controlling soil erosion, reform- station, preserving natural resources, mitigating floods,

preventing impairment of dams and reservoirs, conserving surface and subsurface moisture, protecting the

watersheds of naviga- ble streams, and protecting the public lands, health, safety, and welfare." BankheadJones Title III Lands,(50 Stat. 522, 525; 56 Stat. 725; 7 U.S.C. 1011, et seq.)

Most of the Title III land was acquired under authorities other than the above Act, but was given Title III

status by Executive Orders 7908, 10046, and others. These orders were based on the authority contained in 7

U.S.C. 1019, which section has been repealed.

The administration of Title Ill lands was transferred from SCS to the Forest Service on December 24, 1953,

effective January 2, 1954, 19 Federal Register (FR) 74 at 75. Most Title III lands are now included in the 

National Grasslands, which are a part of the National Forest System. See regulations at 36 C.F.R. 213.

Some Title III lands are now included in the National Forests; some are still administered by the Forest

Service as land utilization projects; some have been conveyed to states and other public authorities; some

have been transferred to other government departments; some are under contract of sale or lease to states; 

small areas are administered by SCS, 19 FR 467; and small areas are administered by Agricultural 

Research Service.

Title III lands may be conveyed or leased, with or without a consideration, but only to public authorities

and only on condition that the property is used for public purposes ( 7 U.S.C.

1011c). This condition is enforced by placing a reversionary provision in the deed from the United 

States. Title III lands may be exchanged to public authorities, as above stated, or it may be exchanged 

to public authorities or private parties under the proviso in 7 U.S.C.

Addendum 1 - 1
LAND UTILIZATION PROJECTS

ADDENDUM 1

(Continued)

1011c without a reversion if land of approximately equal value is received in exchange by the

United States.

Reservations: Until 7 U.S.C. 1018 was repealed, in any conveyance, by sale, gift, or exchange, the United

States was required to reserve at least three-fourths of the minerals owned by it. For years, it was the policy

to reserve all minerals, except in some conveyances to states.

In an exchange involving both acquired land and public domain land, it is necessary to show separately the

land received in exchange for the public domain land, and the land received in exchange for the acquired 

land. Land received in exchange for public domain land acquires public domain status. This is based on

the reasoning in 40 Attorney General 260.

The reservation of minerals, timber, or other rights in conveyances t o the United States, should 

be subjected to the appropriate regulations of the Secretary.

The above is not a complete history o f Title III lands. It is intended to show how Title III lands 

came into being, the types of transfers, acquisitions, and dispositions that have been made, and how

the lands are now administered. Addendums 2 through 4 will show the projects that were transferred to

Forest Service custody and control.
