The Forest Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture is 

 dedicated to the principle of multiple use management of the 

 Nation's forest resources for sustained yields of wood, water, 

 forage, wildlife, and recreation. Through forestry research, 

 cooperation with the States and private forest owners, and 

 management of the National Forests and National Grasslands, 

 it strives — as directed by Congress — to provide increasingly 

 greater service to a growing nation.
