 Offroad Access - Forest Service explains new mission   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
But how well the Forest Service adapts to this evolution will be dependent on how willing it is to include the public in its decision-making process, Dale Bosworth told the annual Conference on Fire and Forest Health at Boise State University.
The old Forest Service emphasis on fire suppression and timber sales, the chief noted, has given way to forest management, particularly as it relates to the urban interface -- where metropolitan America meets the forests -- and the demand put on forest land by outdoor recreationists.
To that end, Bosworth acknowledged that the Forest Service must be more flexible than in the past, but believes that by doing a better job of reaching out -- especially at the local level -- that the public trust can be restored and problems can be solved.
