Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forest Service Engineer, Your Gateway to the Future The Forest Service was established in 1905 as an agency of the Department of Agriculture. It was assigned responsibility for a number of programs which until then had been directed by various offices of the Federal Government. At that time the organization numbered 734 employees. Its biggest job was the administration of 60 federally owned forest reserves located west of the Great Plains and aggregating 56 million acres. Today the Forest Service employs people in permanent full-time positions and more in seasonal work. Major responsibilities now include administration of 154 National Forests totaling 181 million acres in area; direction of cooperative forestry programs in 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands; operation of 9 regional experiment stations, 70 research centers, 5 major laboratories, and a host of smaller installations. Even more significant than this expansion and growth is the way Forest Service techniques, practices, and standards have kept up to date. The present-day counterpart of the picturesque oldtime forest protector with his horse and buggy frequently travels by airplane and helicopter. Single-lane bridges on National Forest roads have given way to modern structures of steel and concrete. Forest fires which once occasioned hours of travel and days of manual labor are now controlled by up-to the-minute techniques and mechanical equipment. Other ex amples can be cited. Application of engineering skills and procedures has had much to do with these developments. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Evaluating and Conserving Green Infrastructure Across the Landscape written by Karen Firehock and published by . This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the New York State edition of the GIC's guide to evaluating and conserving green infrastructure (GI) across the landscape. It provides an historical background to GI, as well as practical steps for creating GI maps and plans for a community. It discusses issues around evaluating green assets, public involvement in the mapping process, and the practical steps in bringing together GIS information into a useful format. It draws from twelve field tests GIC has conducted over the past six years in a diversity of ecological and political conditions, at multiple scales, and in varied development patterns – from wildlands and rural areas to suburbs, cities and towns. This guide is intended to help people make land management decisions which recognize the interdependence of healthy people, strong economies and a vibrant, intact and biologically diverse landscape. Green infrastructure consists of our environmental assets – which GIC also calls ‘natural assets’ – and they should be included in planning processes. Planning to conserve or restore green infrastructure ensures that communities can be vibrant, healthful and resilient. Having clean air and water, as well as nature-based recreation, attractive views and abundant local food, depends upon considering our environmental assets as part of everyday planning.
