Cascade Range Forest Reserve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cascade Range Forest Reserve was established by the General Land Office in Oregon on September 28, 1893 with 4,492,800 acres (18,182 km2). After the transfer of federal forests to the U.S. Forest Service in 1905, the forest was expanded and renamed Cascade National Forest on March 2, 1907. The lands are presently included in Willamette National Forest. [1]
