520 Forests for the People tells one of the most extraordinary
stories of environmental protection in our nation's
history: how a diverse coalition of citizens,
organizations, and business and political leaders worked
to create a system of national forests in the Eastern
United States. It offers an insightful and wide-ranging
look at the actions leading to the passage of the Weeks
Act in 1911--landmark legislation that established a
system of well-managed forests in the East, the South, and
the Great Lakes region--along with case studies that
consider some of the key challenges facing eastern forests
today. The book begins by looking at destructive practices
widely used by the timber industry in the late 1800s and
early 1900s, including extensive clearcutting followed by
forest fire that devastated entire landscapes. The authors
explain how this led to the birth of a new conservation
movement that began simultaneously in the Southern
Appalachians and New England, and describe the subsequent
protection of forests in New England (New Hampshire and
the White Mountains); the Great Lakes region (Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota), and the Southern Appalachians.
Following this historical background, the authors offer
eight case studies that examine critical issues facing the
eastern national forests today, including timber
harvesting, the use of fire, wilderness protection,
endangered wildlife, oil shale drilling, invasive species,
and development surrounding national park borders. Forests
for the People is the only book to fully describe the
history of the Weeks Act and the creation of the eastern
national forests and to use case studies to illustrate
current management issues facing these treasured
landscapes. It is an important new work for anyone
interested in the past or future of forests and forestry
in the United States.
