Download or read book Conflict in Our National Forests written by Robert W. Schramek and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-03-23 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CONFLICT IN OUR NATIONAL FORESTS This book was written to examine the change in the public’s view of the Forest Service over the past half century. Today, instead of being a respected and science based agency, the Service is often portrayed as a politically controlled bureaucracy, trusted by neither the environmental organizations nor the timber industry. The author attempts to show how and why this happened. Every new administration has created policy changes that have altered how the agency functions, and what it is allowed to do. Whether policy changes were made for sound valid reasons, or simply to reward special interest groups that helped them get elected, the resulting changes have often created serious economic and social upheaval, both to the Forest Service employees and their families, and the economic well being of the publics who use these forests. In easy to understand language, the author describes how policies and methods have changed to keep up with new findings in environmental science, and the changing social demands of the using public. In the process, you will learn about how the Forest Service employees use traditional and new forest management techniques in planning programs to to protect our forests. He concludes by offering some possible solutions to bring the National Forest system and its bounty of resources and ecosystems back to their rightful central place in our public lands. This is a valuable reference for all who use and love our National Forests.
Book Synopsis Wars in the Woods by : Samuel P. Hays
Download or read book Wars in the Woods written by Samuel P. Hays and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2006-11-17 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wars in the Woods examines the conflicts that have developed over the preservation of forests in America, and how government agencies and advocacy groups have influenced the management of forests and their resources for more than a century. Samuel Hays provides an astute analysis of manipulations of conservation law that have touched off a battle between what he terms "ecological forestry" and "commodity forestry." Hays also reveals the pervading influence of the wood products industry, and the training of U.S. Forest Service to value tree species marketable as wood products, as the primary forces behind forestry policy since the Forest Management Act of 1897. Wars in the Woods gives a comprehensive account of the many grassroots and scientific organizations that have emerged since then to combat the lumber industry and other special interest groups and work to promote legislation to protect forests, parks, and wildlife habitats. It also offers a review of current forestry practices, citing the recent Federal easing of protections as a challenge to the progress made in the last third of the twentieth century. Hays describes an increased focus on ecological forestry in areas such as biodiversity, wildlife habitat, structural diversity, soil conservation, watershed management, native forests, and old growth. He provides a valuable framework for the critical assessment of forest management policies and the future study and protection of forest resources.
Book Synopsis A Conspiracy of Optimism by : Paul W. Hirt
Download or read book A Conspiracy of Optimism written by Paul W. Hirt and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Conspiracy of Optimism explains the controversy now raging over the U.S. Forest Service’s management of America’s national forests. Confronted with the dual mandate of production and preservation, the U.S. Forest Service decided it could achieve both goals through more intensive management. For a few decades after World War Two, this “conspiracy of optimism” masked the fact that high levels of resource extraction were destroying forest ecosystems. The effects of intensive management—massive clear-cuts, polluted streams, declining wildlife populations, and marred scenery—initiated several decades of environmental conflict that continues to the present. Hirt documents the roots of this conflict and illuminates recent changes in administration and policy that suggest a hopeful future for federal lands.
Book Synopsis The Battle for Yellowstone by : Justin Farrell
Download or read book The Battle for Yellowstone written by Justin Farrell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yellowstone holds a special place in America's heart. As the world's first national park, it is globally recognized as the crown jewel of modern environmental preservation. But the park and its surrounding regions have recently become a lightning rod for environmental conflict, plagued by intense and intractable political struggles among the federal government, National Park Service, environmentalists, industry, local residents, and elected officials. The Battle for Yellowstone asks why it is that, with the flood of expert scientific, economic, and legal efforts to resolve disagreements over Yellowstone, there is no improvement? Why do even seemingly minor issues erupt into impassioned disputes? What can Yellowstone teach us about the worsening environmental conflicts worldwide? Justin Farrell argues that the battle for Yellowstone has deep moral, cultural, and spiritual roots that until now have been obscured by the supposedly rational and technical nature of the conflict. Tracing in unprecedented detail the moral causes and consequences of large-scale social change in the American West, he describes how a "new-west" social order has emerged that has devalued traditional American beliefs about manifest destiny and rugged individualism, and how morality and spirituality have influenced the most polarizing and techno-centric conflicts in Yellowstone's history. This groundbreaking book shows how the unprecedented conflict over Yellowstone is not all about science, law, or economic interests, but more surprisingly, is about cultural upheaval and the construction of new moral and spiritual boundaries in the American West.
