Recreation and Wild Life
Important Forest Resources
Tortland, Ore., Pee. 21. Ontrtnor reo
natiou rtinka Unlay an one of Uic inlijor
rvAOurcei or utilities of llio national for
sts. ac-cortiiiiK to Col. W. Jl. Greeley,
chief of the fnrent Hervioe, who mates
that this i not because of unythiuK the
government hub clone to facilitate or in
crease this form of ue, but because of
the demonstrated belief of several mil
lion of people that' the forests offer a
broad and varied field of recreational
opportunities.
According to fifruros received from the
foresta just compiled, there was a total
of UTo.Ofili visitors to tue national for
ests of Oregon and Washington durinj
1US1. The Weshiigton national forest?
).ad rfiO,44IO, while the Oregon forests
had W.i.VM.
Groups Bring Problems.
The foreBter emphasises the fact that
the presence of largo numbers of people
en favored recreation aras creates prob
lems of sanitation, of public health, and
of protection of public properly which
ran not be safely ignored, lie suys that
counties, municipalities, forest recrea
tion associations and other semi -public
organizations and in some cases individ
ual citiaeiia are doing much by generous
ionatlona and constructive planning to
relieve the situation. They have IdhIiiII
ed toilets, fireplaces, shelters, sources
of wnttr supply, tables and benches,
refuse depositories, narking places, and
other almost indispensable faiilities.
"After the fullest possible eo-opera-tlon
has been secured, however, there
will remain many Important reel cation
nniis where action by the government
will ne necessary to preserve public
health and property. The government
should install necessary sanitary and
protective futilities upon camp grounds
where other means of improvement are
unobtainable. The estimate submitted of
10,000 to meet the cost of work of litis
kind during the fiscal year llHXt is but
a tithe of the amount needed, but it will
provide for a few of the most urgent
cases.
Game Is Attribute.
"The presence of game." the forester
points out, "adds to the attractiveness of
tho national forests not only to hunters
but to residents generally,' and anything
that contributes to the abundance and
variety of game increases the value of
the forests for public purposes, fine of
tho outstanding requirements for the
perpetuation of the gome resources of
tlie national forest is a considerable
number of small, well-distributed game
refuges, within wMeli the rapidly dimin
ishing stocks of valuable mammals and
birds may rear, their young free from
molestation, thus maintaining upon the
surrounding lands a normal overflow or
drift to supply the hunter, naturalist, and
lover of the wild. The nuionul forests
lontaln many areas remote, inaccessible.
