Book Description
Excerpt from The Woodsman's Handbook, Vol. 36: Revised and Enlarged The boundaries of the earlier Forests were not always carefully drawn. In 1903 the need of better choice of Forest boundaries led to the establishment of a force of trained men devoted exclusively to this work, under a uniform and complete system of field study and re port. The results were satisfactory, and the system re mains in effect. Before any National Forest is created or any change is made in the boundary of an existing Forest, a member of the Forest Service familiar with the work and with western conditions makes a careful investigation, not only of the lands, but also of the interests involved. The claims of all industries and classes of residents are weighed, in order that no injus tice may be done.
