[Talk-us] Fwd: Re: Tagging National Forests

[Charlotte Wolter]

         I see your point that it's not a "natural" forest, but national
forests are important institutions as preserves, especially, in addition
to their other uses (recreation, research).
         Having just returned from a camping vacation in the Southwest,
I am especially aware that the national forests, as an institution, play
an important role there. On most map systems, they are noted by their
green color, and that is what most map users expect to see. They use
the color to plan where to camp and where they can conduct certain
activities (hunting, fishing).
         Shouldn't their special status be noted somehow?
