CALIFORNIA'S FORESTS AND RANGELANDS: GROWING CONFLICT OVER CHANGING USES: An Assessment Prepared By Forest and Rangeland Resources Assessment (FRRAP), California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, July, 1988

"California is experiencing growing conflict over changing uses of its forests and rangelands. Despite being the nation's most populous state, California retains extensive areas of rural, undeveloped, relatively wild land. Eighty-five million of the state's 101 million acres are considered forest and rangeland, including desert, mountain, wilderness and other non-urban, non-agricultural lands. The time has come to carefully weight the values wildlands have for the production of basic goods like water, timber, open space, forage, wildlife habitat, and wilderness against their value for urban, suburban, and industrial use." 348 pages, with tables, maps, charts (many in color), half-tones and other illustrations; plus about 12 unnumbered pages prefatory material; plus about 88 separately numbered pages, 12 Appendices. Covers are sound, but show slight discoloration; text is clean and strong.
