No land belong to government, land belongs to people.

<p>You’ll have to take that up with the vast majority of Americans who support the idea of public lands open to the American people - rich and poor, white and black, young and old.</p>

<p>The national forests were established more than 100 years ago because private owners, more interested in short-term profit than long-term sustainability, were laying waste to the nation’s timber resources. The people of the United States wanted something done to stop it. So certain forest lands were preserved in government ownership.</p>

The ‘greatest good for the greatest number’ applies to the number within the womb of time, compared to which those now alive form but an insignificant fraction. Our duty to the whole, including the unborn generations, bids us restrain an unprincipled present-day minority from wasting the heritage of these unborn generations. The movement for the conservation of wild life and the larger movement for the conservation of all our natural resources are essentially democratic in spirit, purpose, and method.

<p>Under the Forest Service, these lands are managed for the present and the future, responsibly balancing the needs of various users while maintaining this resource for generations to come.</p>

<p>Are we perfect? Heck no. But I’ll take a Forest Service wilderness any day over a Georgia-Pacific tree farm. One I can hike through - the other, I’ll get arrested for setting foot upon.</p>
