State-owned private forest

Explanation:
I imagine that although the state actually owns the forest the public don't have a right of access, hence the word 'private'. Difficult to be more precise without the context.

You could add the word 'estate' to the answer but I think a forest is a forest.

Thank you. All the above points are correct, although this particular instance refers to DOM-TOM, so no mushrooms ;-)

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

agree

Chris Hall: You did a good job to say that the term had a distinct lack of accents i.e. privé and état.

agree

B D Finch: It could be about the public not having logging or other rights, i.e. they might still have access.//I thought Sarko got to serve up all the mushrooms for State banquets.

-> Yes indeed: private in the sense of no logging rights but the public still able to come in and pick mushrooms or whatever - as in all French state-owned forests

agree

Julie Barber: BD has a good idea there - even in the UK you have to buy a licence for the day for fishing on some rivers....

-> Thanks Julie. There's no charge for picking mushrooms in France apart from the danger that locals will slash the tyres of out-of-département visitors ...
