§ 2652. Municipal forests, state aid

At any legal meeting, a municipality may vote sums of money for the purchase, management and improvement of a municipal forest within or without the municipality. Any appropriation so voted shall qualify the municipality for such matching state and federal funds as may be available, provided that the suitability of such lands is approved by the commissioner of forests, parks, and recreation. Any portion of such appropriated and matching funds not required for the purchase of land may be expended by the municipality, under the direction of the commissioner of forests, parks, and recreation, in establishing multiple use and implementing a management program for such municipal forest.
