[edit] Unreferenced entries

I referenced this list against the ODF web site. I then removed:

Adair Tract State Forest
George T. Gerlinger State Experimental Forest
McDonald State Forest

These 3 entries weren't supported by the ODF web site, and I don't know where else to find citable support for them. If anyone can re-add them, with references, please do so.

Thanks for doing some legwork on this. The whole state forest thing is shrouded in mystery as far as I can tell. For whatever reason, the ODF isn't real forthcoming with information about them. I suspect some of them are mananged by Oregon State University, though. The Gerlinger forest was definitely a going concern at some point. It is listed in the USGS, though it may have been renamed or is under another jurisdiction now. Here's a pic of the forest's dedication in 1955. Katr67 16:41, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Update

Adair Tract was renamed Dunn Forest and it and the McDonald Forest are managed by OSU: http://www.cof.orst.edu/cf/forests/mcdonald/

Gerlinger has a mountain bike area between Oregon Department of Forestry and the Black Rock Mountain Bike Association: http://brmba.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=2
