NATIONAL GAME PRESERVES WITHIN NATIONAL 

 FORESTS 



Closely related to the development of recreational 

 facilities is the use of the national forests as the habi- 

 tat of fish and game. Wild life adds materially 

 to the enjoyment of the national forests by the public, _ 

 and the preservation of game animals, birds, and 

 fish is a public duty. Game protection is one of 

 the regular activities of the field officers of the Forest 

 Service. Cooperation with the State and local au- 

 thorities in enforcing the game laws has contributed - 

 in no small degree toward making the national forests 

 more attractive to visitors and conserving one of their 

 valuable resources. 



Special acts of Congress have designated the follow- 

 ing national game preserves, situated wholly or in 

 part within national forests, for the protection of 

 wild life :
