Description

A history of the management of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region (PSW) from the late 19th century to 1987. Based in the State of California & the Pacific Islands, the Pacific Southwest Region (today known as Region 5) includes 17 national forests; it manages 20% of California’s land & supports cooperative programs in Hawaii & the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands. This volume provides information about Forest Service resource management practices & policies over the last century; & makes today’s managers aware of the evolution of the conservation history of the region -- especially how conservation was defined at the turn of the 20th century -- & what role the PSW Region played in that evolution.
