Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Multiple-Use Highlights: Pacific Northwest Region, 1958
This review of the activities of the U. S. Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region, discusses our plans and programs, our progress in 1958, and some problems we face. It includes national forest administration and cooperative pro grams in state and private forestry. The United States is experiencing the pressure of in creasing population on natural resources. Not only are there more people using the national forests, but there is more use per person, and these public lands must continue to contribute to the welfare and economy of our people. It seems increasingly clear that the greater demands upon our resources will be most nearly met under the principle of multiple - use management. By fully recognizing the current and longtime needs of people and the capacity of the land under coordinated management to meet these needs, an area as large as a ranger district or forest can have many us e s and yield many values without serious conflicts of uses and users.
