193 Million Acres: Toward a Healthier and More Resilient US

193 Million Acres: Toward a Healthier and More Resilient US Forest Service is a collection of essays that examine the challenges the US Forest Service faces and propose solutions that would address them. Contributors include numerous retired agency leaders, including two former chiefs, as well as long-time outside observers.

The purpose of the book is not to criticize the agency, but to offer concrete proposals for how, ultimately, the agency's operations might be made more efficient and effective and its land-management activities maintained, expanded, and improved. In short, the objective of 193 Million Acres is to find paths toward a healthier and more resilient US Forest Service.
