Drawing Lines in the Forest

Creating Wilderness Areas in the Pacific Northwest

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

New in Paperback--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 discusses the roles played by various groups--the U.S. Forest Service, timber companies, recreationists, and environmentalists--in defining the boundaries of wilderness areas
