The General Revision Act of 1891 provides for the repeal of the Timber Culture and Preemption Acts and authorizes the President, under the Forest Reserve Act, to create forest preserves "wholly or in part covered with timber or undergrowth, whether of commercial value or not...."

Over 1,200,000 acres of forest lands are set aside for federal use in the Yellowstone region by Congress; President Harrison sets aside 14 other areas of forest land by proclamation.
