Legislation passed in 1980 established a reforestation trust fund for public and private lands and a biomass energy bill encouraging the substitution of wood and agricultural-product fuels. Timberland ownership issues were the major judicial developments of the year, with several cases involving rights of access, environmental impacts and impact statements, estimates of timber sales contract and timber volume, and other matters. Administrative actions set procedures for managing rights-of-way and new rules for federal timber disposal. 24 references. (DCK)
