Roughly 95% of existing southern spruce-fir stands are owned by federal and state entities, with the remaining 5% privately owned. Approximately 85% of southern spruce-fir stands are found on National Park Service lands, namely in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and in the Blue Ridge Parkway corridor, or on state-owned lands, such as at Mount Mitchell State Park or Grayson Highlands State Park. The remaining 10% of publicly owned southern spruce-fir stands are located on lands controlled by the United States Forest Service, namely the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina, the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee, and the Jefferson National Forest in Virginia.
