Forest Service

No 358936, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Excerpt from the Preface: …this study provides an analysis of the present situation and the outlook for (1) outdoor recreation and wilderness, (2) wildlife and fish, (3) forest-range grazing, (4) timber, and (5) water. It includes statistical data on the ownership and condition of the Nation's 1.6 billion acres of forest and range lands and associated inland waters; recent changes in forest and range resources; trends in the consumption and prices of major products; the prospective demand, supply, price outlook to 2020; and opportunities for increasing supplies of products and improving productivity. Data are also presented on international trade in forest and range products and the forest resources of important trading countries. The last section of the study discusses the kinds of data and scientific information needed to provide an adequate quantitative basis for future assessments of this kind and for the determination of the sizes and combinations of programs that would most effectively and efficiently meet the Nation's future demands for forest, range and inland water products.
