What is a National Forest?
A national forest, particularly in the United States, is where you can find campgrounds. The United States Forest Service manages it. It is not used for campground purposes only but for national recreation, livestock and wildlife as well. Due to some concerns addressed by property owners in Los Angeles, respecting the unacceptable damage being done in the San Gabriel Mountains, the national forest system was created. There were reported arguments between some companies who were harvesting timber in the area and the United States environmentalists. The concerns addressed were over-exhaustive logging and endangered species security. In order to protect the national forests in the United States, a law was passed, which is the National Forest Management Act of 1976. This law was implemented to help control renewable resources on US forest-lands. The National Forest Management Act (NFMA) had detailed the instructions for national forest plans, most especially relating to timber harvesting.
