ship and utilization in sur- 

 veys of the Arkansas Ozarks. 

 In the early 1960's, 

 procedures for 

 incorporating evaluations of 

 deer habitat were tested in 

 a resurvey of north Georgia. 

 A cooperative survey of 

 timber and range resources 

 in Louisiana in 1973 includ- 

 ed evaluations of forage 

 availability and use, fire 

 history, and range condition. 

 And in 1977, the Southeast- 

 ern Station broadened its 

 timber inventory work in 

 South Carolina to obtain 

 data on wildlife habitat, 

 range, water, soils, under- 

 story vegetation, and recre- 

 ation. 



Information provided by the 

 forest survey on the timber 

 situation and outlook in 

 each State has provided a 

 measure of the effectiveness 

 of Federal, State, and private 

 forestry programs, together 

 with an indication of oppor- 

 tunities for changes in these 

 programs. Such use of 

 forest resource data is 

 illustrated in individual State 

 reports and programs, and 

 in periodic national assess- 

 ments and programs called 

 for by the Forest and 

 Rangeland Renewable 

 Resources Act of 1974.
