Alexander State Forest is located in Rapides Parish, Louisiana near the town of Woodworth. It was established in 1923 as a state demonstration forest. It contains both Indian Creek Recreation Area and the Alexander State Forest Headquarters Building. The Alexander State Forest Headquarters Building, built in 1935, is on the National Register of Historic Places. ==History== In 1923, the state of Louisiana purchased 2,068 acres from Mrs. Elise Polk Burrows, and named the land Alexander State Forest after Louisiana's first commissioner of conservation, M.L. Alexander.〔Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, ("Alexander State Forest and Indian Creek Lake" ), Division of Administration, Administration Services〕 In the following 15 years, Louisiana made nine more purchases, bringing the total acreage of Alexander State Forest to 7,995 acres.〔〔Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, ("Alexander State Forest" )〕 Most of the land was barren when purchased. In 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) started extensive planting of pine trees and continued to do so until 1940. This is a successful example of reforestation. During this time, the CCC also built the log administration building on the site. The forest today consists of about 700 acres of bottomland hardwood and 4,800 acres of southern yellow pine. Most of the tree species are loblolly pine, a type of southern yellow pine, as well as some slash and longleaf pine.〔 Other tree species include red oaks, water oaks, willow oaks, blackgum, sweetgum, beech and hackberry.〔 Indian Creek Recreation Area constitutes 2,250 acres of Alexander State Forest.
