Timber and the Forest Service (PB)

by David A. Clary

Book Overview

Nearly onequarter of America is covered with forests--almost 800 million acres. There are 151 national forests, comprising close to 200 million acres in thirtynine states and Puerto Rico. These protected lands are administered by the U.S. Forest Service, an agency of the Department of Agriculture. David Clary here examines the history of and controversies surrounding the Forest Service's policies for timber management in our national forests.
