National Forests

National Forests are protected areas in the United States managed by the U.S. Forest Service. These forests are designated for conservation and sustainable use, providing habitat for wildlife, recreational opportunities, and resources such as timber and clean water. They cover millions of acres and offer activities like hiking, camping, and fishing, while also preserving ecosystems and natural beauty. National Forests play a crucial role in environmental health, serving as carbon sinks and helping to combat climate change. They aim to balance ecological preservation with public enjoyment and resource management.
