Abstract

The twentieth century saw the establishment of national and state parks as well as national and state forests in order to conserve and preserve the United States' natural resources and natural beauty. Currently, the state of Indiana manages twelve state forests through the Department of Natural Resources. I examine Ferdinand State Forest and Greene-Sullivan State Forest through their histories, development, and characteristics and also compare their features.
