Sec. 692. Game sanctuaries or refuges in Ocala National Forest;
creation
The President of the United States is authorized to designate as
game refuges such lands of the United States within the Ocala National
Forest, in the State of Florida, as in his judgment should be set aside
for the protection of game animals and birds, but it is not intended
that the lands so designated shall cease to be parts of the national
forest within which they are located, and the establishment of such game
sanctuaries or refuges shall not prevent the Secretary of Agriculture
from permitting other uses of the lands under and in conformity with the
laws and regulations applicable thereto so far as such uses may be
consistent with the purposes for which such game sanctuaries or refuges
are established.
(June 28, 1930, ch. 709, Sec. 1, 46 Stat. 827.)
Presidential Designation
Lands comprising the Ocala National Game Refuge were designated by
Proclamation of July 24, 1930 (46 Stat. 3031), and Executive Order No.
5814 of Mar. 1, 1932.
