Drawing Lines in the Forest (eBook, ePUB)

Creating Wilderness Areas in the Pacific Northwest

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing boundaries around wildlands serves a double purpose--both protection of the land within the boundary and release of the land outside the boundary to resource extraction and development. This book looks at the process of establishing those boundaries and the roles played by various groups--the U.S. Forest Service, timber companies, recreationists, and environmentalists.
