The Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection may acquire land adjoining or in close proximity to an established state forest, by exchanging for title in fee simple to such land the right to cut and remove wood, lumber or other forest products from state forest land to an amount equal in value to that of the land to be acquired. The commissioner may contract on behalf of the state with the owner of land, title to which is thus acquired, to allow the cutting of a specified amount of forest products over a period not exceeding ten years, provided all such cuttings shall be carried out in accordance with regulations prescribed by the commissioner and under his supervision.
