5. NATIONAL FORESTS OF THE 

 NORTH PACIFIC DISTRICT (6) 



By J. V. HOFMANN 



The National Forests of Oregon and 

 Washington include large areas of moun- 

 tainous country and some of the most 

 gigantic forests of the world. The total 

 National Forest area covers nearly 

 52,000,000 acres of which about 15,000,000 

 are in Oregon, and 10,000,000 acres in 

 Washington. 1 



The wide variety of conditions exist- 

 ing in these forests affords a mecca for 

 the nature lover and scientist alike. 

 These regions provide fertile fields for 

 the pursuit of studies in biology, geology 

 and any of the botanical sciences. 



The preservation of natural conditions 

 in the Pacific Northwest for purely 

 ecological or biological purposes, or for 

 keeping intact some of the forest forma- 

 tions that exist at the present time and 

 which will not be reproduced under 

 forest management, can best be served 

 by considering the region as a whole. 



The present economic conditions are 

 such that there will undoubtedly be 

 regions left untouched in this section 

 for several decades, and large areas of 

 types will be preserved without any 

 special effort. This will apply to this 

 region more than to various other 

 sections because the National Forest 

 land covers practically all the types and 

 conditions of the region, and portions 

 of these forests will be left untouched 

 until the lumber industry advances to 

 the stage where the last areas of the 

 present mature stands of timber are 



' The national forest areas mentioned in this and 

 the following accounts are as of July 1, 1923.
