To avoid double counting acres where multiple programs contributed to the acquisition of a single parcel, the parcel acreage is only aggregated under the program that provided the majority of funding. For example, if the chart displays a dollar amount greater than $0, but also shows 0 acres, it is because the program was not the primary contributor for any parcels in that year.

The Department of Wildlife Conservation is the only state agency in Oklahoma that actively acquires land. The department’s land acquisition operates mostly on the sale of hunting and fishing licenses. Other income comes from the lease of lands for agriculture purposes, oil and gas exploration and production as well as from the sale of timber.
