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, co- 

 operation with the States and private 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.
