	Biographical/Historical:	*IN PROCESSING* The Florida Forest Service, within the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is one of a succession of state offices responsible for overseeing the commercial, industrial, and natural resources of Florida's forests. Established in 1928 to succeed the Florida Board of Forestry, the Florida Forest Service cooperated with federal and state agencies, counties, towns, corporations, and individuals in disseminating information about Florida forests, managing fire prevention and control programs, and enforcing laws pertaining to forests and woodlands. In 1929, the Florida Forest Service began a reforestation program, producing pine seedlings for sale to Florida landowners to encourage them to replace the trees harvested during early logging activities. The first nursery was established at the state prison at Raiford. The Civilian Conservation Corps, established in 1933, gave great impetus to the forestry program; in 1934, Florida's first forestry training camp for agriculture students was held in cooperation with the forest industry, and in 1935, the Florida Legislature formed the Board of Forestry and Parks. Within a decade, the Forest Service acquired over 200,000 acres of forestland.
