National Forest lands

National Forest lands are federally managed areas designated for conservation, recreation, and sustainable resource use. They cover large stretches of forests across the U.S., preserving natural habitats, providing outdoor activities, and supporting local economies. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service, these lands balance environmental protection with responsible use, allowing activities like hiking, camping, and timber harvesting. They serve as vital ecological buffers, offer opportunities for outdoor enjoyment, and ensure future generations can experience and benefit from America's natural landscapes.
