	United States National Forest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		U.S. National Forests are protected forests and woodland areas in the United States.
		Commercial use of national forests is permitted and in many cases encouraged, unlike national parks.

		However, the structure of the United States was profoundly changed in 1788 when the states replaced the Articles of Confederation with the United States Constitution; often, sources use the date each of the original 13 states adopted the Constitution as the date on that state "entered the Union" (became part of the United States).
		The United States does not have an official language at federal level; nevertheless, English is spoken by the vast majority of the population and serves as the de facto language: English is the language used for legislation, regulations, executive orders, treaties, federal court rulings, and all other official pronouncements.
		The United States also holds several other territories, districts and possessions, notably the federal district of the District of Columbia, which is the nation's capital, and several overseas insular areas, the most significant of which are Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands.

	Southern Lessons: Saving Species Through the National Forest Management Act -- Defenders of Wildlife
		rom the temperate rainforests of Alaska's Tongass National Forest to the tropical rainforests of El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico, the United States' national forests are perhaps the richest repository of native biological diversity in North America.

	#127 United States Sues Nye County, Nevada
		A 1993 Nye County resolution claims that the state of Nevada, not the United States, owns national forests and other federal lands, and that Nye County therefore has the authority to manage these lands.

		The Forest Service was established in 1905 by President Teddy Roosevelt for the purpose of managing and conserving the National Forests.

	Forests of the Eastern United States
		The forests of the eastern United States once stretched almost unbroken from Maine in the North to Mississippi and Florida in the South, covering most of what are now 22 states and the District of Columbia.
		Our approach to protecting and conserving our Eastern Forests is based upon the love that people have for the region’s rich and colorful patchwork of remaining wild and natural places: neighborhood parks, National Forests, and private woodlots.
		Eastern Forests are recovering from the clearcutting that occurred during our nation’s earlier days, but these Forests once again face increasing threats from unsustainable logging, as well as from new threats from energy extraction, poorly planned growth and sprawl, irresponsible All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) use and other factors.
