"Our National Forests: A Short Popular Account of the Work of the United States Forest Service on the National Forests" by Richard H. Douai Boerker is a scientific explanation of forestry from the 19th century. It explains why saving the National Forests in the United States matters, and how they are run, showing how forests help communities and the country’s money flow. The book discusses what other countries have done and says that using forests wisely is important to stop bad things from happening to the environment. The first part explains why forestry is a big deal for the country, talking about how forests were used up in the past, leading to problems like floods and land washing away. The author shares stories from working with the United States Forest Service, pointing out the big job of taking care of so much forest land. Boerker wants people to understand why managing forests with scientific knowledge is important, pushing for the government to own and control how forests are used, so they will be around for people in the future.
