From a report in th Los Angeles Times:
The Bush administration Friday laid out plans to sell off more than $1 billion in public lands over the next decade….
Most of the proceeds would help pay for rural schools and roads, making up for a federal subsidy that has been eliminated from President Bush’s 2007 budget.
Congress must approve the plans, which several experts said would amount to the largest land sale of its kind since President Theodore Roosevelt established the U.S. Forest Service in 1905 and created the modern national forest system.
Here’s the list of Lands Potentially Eligible for Sale by State and National Forest from USDA.
Totals for a few states:
Arizona……….1,030
California…..85,465
Colorado……21,572
New Mexico..7,447
Oregon………10,581
