Definition
Programs that are responsible for managing the resources which occur on or in conjunction with forest lands and for protecting forests from insects, disease, fire, erosion, air pollution and other destructive forces. Services may include planning and prescribing forest uses and practices; directing land surveys, road construction and the planting and harvesting of trees; working cooperatively with public land management agencies, states and owners of private forest lands to provide more scientific management of forest resources; and ensuring that timber harvesting methods protect the lands and streams, assure rapid renewal of the forest, provide food and cover for wildlife and fish, and have minimum impact on scenic and recreational values.
