§ 3. 1. Forest and wild life conservation are hereby declared to be
policies of the state. For the purpose of carrying out such policies the
legislature may appropriate moneys for the acquisition by the state of
land, outside of the Adirondack and Catskill parks as now fixed by law,
for the practice of forest or wild life conservation. The prohibitions
of section 1 of this article shall not apply to any lands heretofore or
hereafter acquired or dedicated for such purposes within the forest
preserve counties but outside of the Adirondack and Catskill parks as
now fixed by law, except that such lands shall not be leased, sold or
exchanged, or be taken by any corporation, public or private.

2. As to any other lands of the state, now owned or hereafter
acquired, constituting the forest preserve referred to in section one of
this article, but outside of the Adirondack and Catskill parks as now
fixed by law, and consisting in any case of not more than one hundred
contiguous acres entirely separated from any other portion of the forest
preserve, the legislature may by appropriate legislation,
notwithstanding the provisions of section one of this article,
authorize: (a) the dedication thereof for the practice of forest or
wildlife conservation; or (b) the use thereof for public recreational or
other state purposes or the sale, exchange or other disposition thereof;
provided, however, that all moneys derived from the sale or other
disposition of any of such lands shall be paid into a special fund of
the treasury and be expended only for the acquisition of additional
lands for such forest preserve within either such Adirondack or Catskill
park.
