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.
