Historical NoteReturn to Top
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service is a Federal agency that manages public lands in national forests and grasslands. It was established by Congress in 1905 to provide quality water and timber for the nation's benefit. In addition to natural resources for production, the Forest Service lands provide recreational areas as "America's great outdoors."
