Where no suitable tax‑delinquent lands are available and, in the judgment of the Department, the establishment of a demonstration forest is advisable, the Department may purchase sufficient land for the establishment of such a demonstration forest at a fair and agreed‑upon price, the deed for such land to be subject to approval of the Attorney General, but nothing in G.S. 106‑870 to G.S. 106‑875 shall allow the Department to acquire land under the right of eminent domain.
