For the purpose of maintaining in perpetuity the production of forest products
on state forests, the State Forester may designate and appraise the trees which
should be cut under the principles of scientific forest management, and may sell
these trees for not less than the appraised value. When the appraised value of
the trees to be sold is more than $ 50,000, the State Forester, before making
such sale, shall receive bids therefor, after notice by publication once a week
for two weeks in two newspapers of general circulation. The State Forester shall
have the right to reject any and all bids and to readvertise for bids. The
proceeds arising from the sale of the timber and trees so sold, except as
provided in subsection E of § 10.1-1107, shall be paid into the state treasury
as provided in § 10.1-1116, and shall be held in the Reforestation Operations
Fund for the improvement or protection of state forests or for the purchase of
additional lands.
