The USDA Forest Service — The First Century

Gerald W. Williams

4.9/5 (31710 ratings)

Description:The philosophical foundations of preserving and using the natural resources on Federal land have many deep roots that date to the 19th century. After the decisions made by Congress in the 1890s, the National Forest System has grown to more than 191 million acres. This land has been managed by the USDA Forest Service since 1905. Forestry, as worked out by Gifford Pinchot, the first Chief of the Forest Service, is synonymous with conservation of forests and other natural resources over the long term. Its equivalent today is ecology-based management.The future is very unclear. There are powerful interest groups that want the Forest Service and the national forests to revert to an intensive management era to protect and preserve jobs and use the trees and other natural resources to the fullest extent possible. At the other end there are those who want the resources totally preserved, to have a "zero-cut" of the trees, and to keep people out of the national forests -- a policy even more restrictive than that of the national parks.Without the foresight and dedication of a great number of people during the late 19th and early 20th centuries there would be nothing to debate today. The national forests are our legacy for future generations.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
