Washington National Forest 



Keep the Forest Green 



The Washington National Fores<- is essentially a tim- 

 ber reservoir. It holds a portion of the future supply 

 which, because of remoteness, has been little logged as 

 yet. At present its recreational resource is perhaps of 

 greatest interest to the average citizen, who is invited to 

 come and enjoy that resource to -the utmost. At the 

 same time he is cautioned to be careful always with fire. 

 There has been no devastating blaze for a long time. 

 Each year sees the forest greener than it was before. No 

 small part of this favorable condition is due to the 

 cooperation of the public. Such cooperation is appre- 

 ciated. Forest field officers will gladly render tourists 

 all assistance compatible with the performance of their 

 duties, and they hope that visitor:^ will in turn lighten 

 the burden of those duties as much as possible during the 

 fire season by thoughtfulness in the many little things 

 which go to prevent the escape of fire. A good motto 

 for the camper is: 



LEAVE A DEAD FIRE AND A CLEAN CAMP 



The Forest Service has spent considerable 

 time and money putting up signs for the 

 benefit of the public; please leave them un- 

 mutilated and undisturbed. 



When you clean your fish don't throw the 

 refuse in the streams; some one may be 

 camped below you, or you may sometime 

 wish to camp below on this same stream. 

 Hundreds of people get their drinking water 

 from the streams on the National Forests. 

 Bury all camp refuse and body excrement. 

 Obey the well-recognized laws of ordinary 

 sanitation.
