 Forest Magazine Article: Appalachian Mountain Club
The Forest Service, for its part, found the AMC integral to its White Mountain operations because the club provided in abundance what are now deemed “recreation services”—trails, lodging, maps, supplies, rescue services and advice.
Forest Supervisor Donna Hepp’s April 1999 decision (upheld later by the agency’s regional office) refuted the critics’ main arguments, noting that the AMC’s audited financial statements, far from proving that the club was hiding profits, showed that the AMC was losing money on its White Mountain facilities.

 The Overstory 93 - Trees, Forests and Sacred Groves
The forests in European culture were also considered to be a more positive site of miracles, the source of great spiritual awakenings; and the forest itself was held to be a form of primitive church or temple.
The first temples in Europe were forest groves, and although progressively replaced with temples made of wood, and subsequently by churches made of stone, places of worship – particularly those of Gothic architecture – continue to evoke the forest with their design and proportions (Rival in Posey 1999; Schama 1995; Burch in Posey 1999).
In Ghana, beliefs about forests include the belief that they are the home of dwarfs, and the domain of the mythical Sasabonsam – a legendary figure responsible for all the woes of mankind and to which mishaps and everything evil are attributable (Abbiw 1990).

 William Le Lacheur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Le Lacheur (born 15 October 1802 Forest, Guernsey, Channel Islands, died 27 June 1863, London), was a Guernsey Sea Captain, who played an important role in the economic and spiritual development of the Central American country of Costa Rica.
William Le Lacheur was born on 15 October 1802 and was baptised Guillaume Le Lacheur (using the French version of the forename) in the parish church of the Forest, Guernsey on 31 October by his parents Jean Le Lacheur and Marie Suzanne (née Allez).
The coffee-growing areas were located in the central part of the country, and it was impossible, because of the mountains and the rainy forest, to send the coffee to the Caribbean Sea and therefore to the Atlantic.
