A. Forest Service in The USA
In many parts of the world forestland is regulated by government agencies as a national resource. Some famous forests, like the Black Forest in Germany, are very thoroughly managed.
In the United States a large part of the forestland belongs to the federal government. Most of this is managed by the Forest Service, a branch of the Department of Agriculture, to perpetuate the forest and provide all the benefits of timber supply, wildlife management, watershed management, and recreation. The Forest Service protects the trees from natural enemies and manages their harvests. Many state governments own forests. These are managed by forestry agencies that also help private landowners develop the forests on their lands.
Forest industry companies practice good forest management and encourage their neighbors to do the same. In the United States the industry established the American Tree Farm System in 1941 to do just that. Company and state foresters seek landowners doing a good job of planning, protecting, and harvesting their forests and certify them as members of the system. The foresters also work with people who want to improve their management, helping them with tree planting and fire and insect control.
These three groups of landowners, working in harmony and taking advantage of modern forestry developments, assure that the forests of the United States continue to provide wood products and all the other benefits of well-managed stands. Similar groups are active in many of the developed countries.
