APPENDIX 



The plans that follow will, in addition to presenting certain man- 

 agement situations common to the national lorests, show what data 

 were assembled, how those data were used, and what solutions were 

 arrived at in those particular situations. "While all of the.-e plans 

 have received official approval and are in effect, they should not be 

 regarded as models in either sense of the word. It goes without 

 saying that the conditions tliat affect and control management are too 

 varied and too complex and are found in too great a variety of com- 

 binations to make it likely that any of the plans given here would fit 

 other specific situations to any satisfactory degree. And these plans 

 are not perfect. They are merel}^ samples of the work of the Fore.st 

 Service in this field. 



The plans have been edited only slightly, and that mainly through 

 the deletion of statistical material from the appendices to save space. 

 It has not been practicable to reproduce the original maps which 

 accompanied the plans; there have been substituted small-scale maps 

 showing the location and the boundaries of the working circles and 

 some of the more salient features of topography and culture. 



Though the plans are in effect, that for the Rio Pueblo working 

 circle on the Carson National Forest is not being carried out in full 

 because of an unexpected and probably temporary loss of market. 

 Conditions there illustrate the importance of the marketing and trans- 

 portation factors in managing forest properties. The Rio Pueblo 

 plan has been included partly to picture the situation which confronts 

 many national forest oilicers when the}' attempt to organize for sus- 

 tained yield production forests which are difficult of access, from 

 which only certain products can be sold, or which are dejiendent on 

 unstable markets.
