In Germany, state forests are either federal forest called the Bundesforst, which is controlled by the Institute for Federal Real Estate (Bundesforstverwaltung),[2] or forest of the Länder called Landesforste
In the United States, a state forest is a forest owned by one of the individual states while a national forest is owned by the federal government
Purposes
The purpose of a state forest varies between countries and the quality of the landscape it covers.[4] In many places, state forests are divided into land for logging plantations, area for conservation, area for livestock grazing, and area for visitor recreation. As an example, in the state of California, the Redwood National and State Parks are a string of protected forests, beaches, and grasslands along Northern California's coast; these are owned by both the U.S. federal government and the State of California.[5]
