Category:Forests of Iowa

Iowa's state forest system consists of 4 major and 6 smaller units totaling 43,917 acres. The Forestry Bureau pursues an active land acquisition program with a goal of consolidating and expanding each of the major units.

State Forests are managed for multiple benefits. The primary emphasis is on demonstrating good woodland management and providing forest products, wildlife habitat and a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities.

Lumber and firewood are sold to the public at some state forests.
