Current law requires the federal government to fulfill a broad
spectrum of responsibilities in managing public lands; to protect
and conserve the environment; to foster the appropriate development
of marketable commodities; to preserve wilderness areas, wildlife
habitats, and unique historical sites; and to encourage public
participation in land-use and management decisions. There is no
consensus, however, on the best ways to establish a balance among
the? priorities when serious conflicts arise. This book presents a
wide-ranging discussion of the means by which lands and resources
administered by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land
Management can better serve present and future needs for
environmental preservation and resource development. The
contributors consider public and private interests in the federal
lands in light of political realities and uncertainties, giving
particular: attention to efficiency-versus-equity issues,
privatization fair market value, and the income-producing potential
of publicly owned assets. Major sections of the book focus on
timber, nonfuel minerals, rangelands, and energy resources. Based
on a recent conference sponsored by The Wilderness Society, the
book reflects the views of conservationists, scholars, industry
representatives, and state and federal officials.
