Focus on the Human Dimension. Your theme reflects a Forest Service priority involving all Americans in using and enjoying their national forests and grasslands. With this in mind, I would like to discuss the human dimension in delivery of civil rights programs. I d like to start by raising an issue of paramount importance to the Forest Service how to research and manage the Nation s wildland resources in collaboration with partners to meet the needs of a changing public. Demographic Change Change.
Nobody really likes change.
But if there s one certainty in life, it s the certainty of change. Americans are growing more racially and ethnically diverse. By the year 2050, a majority will no longer be of European ancestry. Americans are growing older. Americans are growing more urban.
