(UPI) Recreation Visits To National Forests Exceed 12 Million Portland - Recreation vis its to the national forests of the Pacific Northwest exceed ed 12 million in 1962, accord ing to the U.S. forest serv ice regional office in Port land. This is an increase of 7 per cent over the preceding year and an increase of 65 per cent in four years. Total number of visits re corded in the national for ests of Oregon was 8 million, and the number of visits to national forests of Washing ton was 4 million. Last year, recreation use was up 18 per cent over 1961. The average for the past 10 years is about 12 per cent per year. Fluctuation in use is due primarily to varying cli mntic condition, according to J. Herbert Stone, regional for ester. The region had a com paratively cool summer last year. Field Tabulations Field tabulations showed the greatest gains last year in the following categories of use: general enjoyment and sightseeing, gathering forest products for pleasure, organ ized camping, scientific study and hobbies, and hiking, rid ing and wilderness travel. Winter sports also showed an increase regionwide. Other recreational pursuits that showed a slight drop for the year were camping and picnicking, hunting, fishing, and swimming, boating and other water sports. The Snoqunlmle National forest, closest to the Seattle metropolitan area, showed an Increase in camping and pic nicking, as did the Gifford Pinchot and Wenatchee Na tional forests to the south and east. The Seattle area Increase is attributed partly to the "World's Fair. Regionwide, 11 national forests showed in creases in the camping - pic nicking category, and eight showed decreases, Stone said. Recreation Visits Recreation visits in the re gion were recorded at the rate of 23 per minute in 1962. Recreation has always been one of the Important uses of the national forests, Stone pointed out, and use of this resource has grown rapidly in recent years. Nationally, visits to the na tional forests totalled nearly 113 million, an increase of 11 per cent over 1961.
