Abstract

While over time state forests have become synonymous with state parks, they have different purposes. The purpose of the state forests differ from state parks because state parks are for recreational use, while state forests are for timber management and conservation. By compiling information from newspapers, magazine articles, and personal interviews, the history of Harrison-Crawford State Forests is made more transparent. By combining these resources "Harrison Crawford State Forest: A Wealth of History and Mystery" helps readers understand why the forests were established, why they are managed the way they are, and the unique features the forest offers.
