Abstract: In 1980 eastern South Dakota's forest resources covered 266,300 acres of land, a slight decline from the 296,600 acres reported in 1965. The area of commercial forest land also dropped from 165,400 acres to 113,600 acres. The elm-ash-locust forest type covers 40 percent of the commercial forest area.
