NATIONAL FORESTS REDISTRICTED 



PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has 

 signed executive orders making 

 important changes in the boun- 

 daries of practically all of the National 

 I "rests in the States of California and 

 Washington. This is another step in 

 the comprehensive plan <>f redistricting 

 the National Forests in all of the west- 

 ern states. 



No addition in forest area is involved 

 in the redistricting plan. The object of 

 the work is to equalize the area of ad- 

 ministrative units and to arrange their 

 boundaries in such a manner as to pro- 

 mote the most practical and efficient ad- 

 ministration of the forests. It will en- 

 able officers of the Forest Service to 

 give prompt attention to all forest busi- 

 ness and further the interests and add 

 to the convenience of stockmen, lumber- 

 men, miners, and other users or settlers 

 in the National Forests. The Califor-
