We would like a forest with no trash, healthy trees, homes for animals, and a natural and peaceful setting with clean rivers. It could be a healthy forest, lots of wild flowers, different kinds of wildlife, an investment for your grandchildren that could send them to college, the trees you climbed when you were a child, and a creek with clean water. We can take care of our forests for many different reasons, including providing timber, recreation, water, and a home for wildlife. To decide how we want to take care of our forests, we need to think about how we want our forests to look in future. With a good forest plan we can have many choices.
