Book excerpt: The history of Ohio's State Forests is a long tale, one of vision, commitment, perseverance, and accomplishment. It officially started in 1916 but took root long before. The previous century witnessed unprecedented loss and abuse of Ohio's forests. A state that had been virtually all forest in pre-settlement times, was reduced to 20% forest cover by the late 1800s. Ohio's dwindling forests begged for help-- and the state responded.
