At A Glance - Benefits to People
A goal in the Forest Service Strategic Plan is to “Deliver Benefits to the Public”. These benefits take many forms: recreation, scenery, cultural & Heritage Resources, Research, Education, Access, Forest Products, Clean air and water, forage for grazing, production of energy and minerals, cultural and heritage resources conservation, physical and mental health, and a connection to the land. The Benefits to People At A Glance Reports are meant to serve as a starting point for discussion of benefits from forests. We expect that Forest or Grassland staff will add information and stories to make each report more relevant to the Forest and surrounding communities. For example, a Forest might add that salmon fishing is crucial to subsistence living in rural communities surrounding the Forest. This personalization will add important dimensions and value to individual reports that was not possible using databases applied across all forests nationwide.
These “At A Glance” reports can be directly accessed below or through a more descriptive and informative presentation: Benefits to People Story Map.
