In our complex society, there must be an interrelationship among 

 objectives, policies, and goals. 



The Forest Service seeks to foster this by : 



• Promoting and achieving a pattern of natural resource uses that 

 will best meet the needs of people now and in the future. 



• Protecting and improving the quality of air, water, soil, and 

 natural beauty. 



• Helping to preserve and enhance the quality of "open space" in 

 urban and community areas. 



• Generating forestry opportunities to accelerate rural community 

 growth. 



• Encouraging the growth and development of forestry-based en- 

 terprises that readily respond to consumers' changing needs. 



• Seeking optimum forest landownership patterns. 



• Improving the welfare of the underprivileged. 



• Involving the public in forestry policy and program formulation. 



• Encouraging the development of forestiy throughout the world. 



• Expanding public understanding of environmental conservation. 



• Developing and making available a firm scientific base for the ad- 

 vancement of forestry. 



The Forest Ser\dce realizes the importance of being responsive and 

 alert to the changing needs of a dynamic society. Sensitivity to prob- 

 lems and flexibility in solving them are basic to successful leadership 

 in the preservation of our natural environment.
