1 1987 data is a rough estimate. 2 Managed in trust by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. 3 USDA Forest Service reports currently overstate the nation's nonfederal forest land in 1987 by slightly more than 39 million acres (personal communication, J. Faulkner 1996). Note: n/a means not available. Source: USDA Forest Service (unpublished data; personal communication, J. Faulkner 1996), USDI - Bureau of Indian Affairs (undated and 1983), and Intertribal Timber Council 1993. |
