Why does a nation set aside its forests, and who benefits? Richard Boerker lays out the case for the American national forests: their extent, their creation, and the public good of managing timber, water and wildlife for the long haul. A clear primer on early conservation. Understand the forests held in common for everyone.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
