This is a list of Georgia state forests. In the state of Georgia, all state forests are managed by the Georgia Forestry Commission. All state forests are operated under a multiple-use Forest Stewardship management plan. This takes into account the wood product, wildlife, recreational, soil, aesthetic, historical, and cultural resources of the forest.
