Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive guide for forestry resource management and research, which aims to protect and maintain environmental quality while maximizing productivity and providing a range of uses for the present and future generations. The book introduces a system for inventorying dispersed recreation sites – locales established impromptu by forest visitors along forest roads, in back country, or in wilderness. This system is field-operational and supplements larger centralized systems such as the Forest Service's Recreation Information Management System. The system is based on edge punch cards and needle sorting methods for efficient, on-site data recording and storage for subsequent retrieval for planning, management, and research. This book is essential reading for those aiming to effectively manage dispersed recreational use and its coordination with other resources such as fire patrol, fish stocking, road maintenance, timber harvest, and wildlife management.
