The governor may accept gifts of land to the state to be held, protected, and administered by the commission as state forests and to be used to demonstrate their practical utility for reforestation and as breeding places for game. Such gifts must be absolute, except for the reservation of all mineral rights, and in no case shall exceed ten percent of the area of any parish wherein the lands are situated. The Attorney General shall see that all deeds to the state are properly executed and that the titles thereto are free and clear of all incumbrance before the gift is accepted. When any donation exceeding six hundred acres is made, the name of the donor, or any name he may suggest, shall, on the approval of the commission, be given the donation as the designation of that state forest.
