| Summary | "Our National Forests: A Short Popular Account of the Work of the United States Forest Service on the National Forests" by Richard H. Douai Boerker is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work details the establishment, significance, and management of the National Forests in the United States, focusing on the myriad benefits these forests bring to both local communities and the national economy. It evaluates the experiences of other nations and emphasizes the importance of sustainable forestry practices in preventing environmental disasters. The opening of the book provides a thorough introduction to forestry as a critical national issue, describing the historical context of forest conservation in the U.S. It highlights how the depletion of forest resources has led to significant ecological and economic challenges, such as flooding and erosion. The author shares insights from his personal experience with the United States Forest Service, underscoring the monumental task of managing over 155 million acres of forested land. Boerker aims to inform readers about the importance of scientific forestry management, advocating for public ownership and controlled use of forest resources to ensure their preservation for future generations.
