Fact: The Lincoln National Forest encompasses over ONE MILLION acres. In 2004, the Forest Service managed 22,987 acres (2.1%) and in 2005, the Forest Service managed 23,688 acres (2.15%). At this rate we can expect Lincoln National Forest to be healthy in about 50 YEARS! Courtesy of W.Coffman's Weedpatch, Weed Water Fun Fact Sheet. Sources: USFS Website/Press Release.
