Search Results - National forest

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

United States National Forests are largely forested and woodland areas in the United States. National forests are controlled by the federal government and managed by the United States Forest Service, under the direction of the United States Department of Agriculture. The management of these lands focuses on timber harvesting, livestock grazing, water, wildlife, and recreation. Commercial use of national forests is permitted and in many cases encouraged, unlike national parks. National Forests fall under IUCN Protected Area Management Categories VI.

The national forest system was created by the Land Revision Act of 1891. It was the result of concerted action by Los Angeles-area businessmen and property owners who were concerned by the harm being done to the watershed of the San Gabriel Mountains by ranchers and miners. Abbot Kinney and forester Theodore Lukens were key spokesmen for the effort.

There are frequent conflicts between timber companies and environmentalists over the use of national forest land. These conflicts center on endangered species protection, logging of old-growth forests, over-intensive logging, undervalued stumpage fees, antiquated mining laws and road-building in national forests.

In the USA there are 155 national forests containing almost 190,000,000&_160;acres (297,000&_160;mi² - 769&_160;000&_160;km²) of land. These lands comprise 8.5 percent of the total land area of the United States, an area about the size of Texas. Only 13 percent of National Forest land lies east of the Mississippi River. Alaska alone accounts for 12 percent of all National Forest land.
