Description
An account of the resource
Forestry laws govern activities in designated forest lands, most commonly with respect to forest management and timber harvesting. Ancillary laws may regulate forest land acquisition and prescribed burn practices. Forest management laws generally adopt management policies, such as multiple use and sustained yield, by which public forest resources are to be managed. Governmental agencies are generally responsible for planning and implementing forestry laws on public forest lands, and may be involved in forest inventory, planning, and conservation, and oversight of timber sales. Broader initiatives may seek to slow or reverse deforestation.

Description
An account of the resource
Today, the United States is home to over 6,600 state park sites which span 14 million acres. The Adirondack Preserve, set up by New York state in the late 19th century, paved the way for the founding of these state parks and other protected lands.
In the mid-1800s, deforestation and farming threatened the Adirondack forests, as well as erosion and flooding. The writer S.H. Hammond recognized the need for protection: "Had I my way, I would mark out a circle of a hundred miles in diameter, and throw around it the protecting aegis of the constitution. I would make it a forest forever. It would be a misdemeanor to chop down a tree and a felony to clear an acre within its boundaries."
Inspired by Hammond's words, Verplanck Colvin (a lawyer, illustrator, author, and topographical engineer with a love of the environment) compiled annual reports of the Adirondack Forest over the course of thirty years. It was Colvin who pushed for the creation of the Adirondack Forest Preserve, explaining that "unless the region be preserved essentially in its present wilderness condition, the ruthless burning and destruction of the forest will slowly, year after year, creep onward ... and vast areas of naked rock, arid sand and gravel will alone remain to receive the bounty of the clouds, unable to retain it." His efforts to convince legislation were successful, and the Preserve was established in 1885.

<p>Smokey the Bear PSA</p>
Since 1944, Smokey the Bear has educated generations on the importance of forest/wildfire prevention, and the PSA campaign is the longest running in the United States. The original slogan was “Smokey Says - Care Will Prevent 9 out of 10 Forest Fires,” but was later changed to “Remember... Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires” in 1947. The current slogan, “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires” was implemented in 2001, in response to fires occurring outside of the forest landscape.<br /> <br />As of 2000, this campaign has significantly reduced acreage lost from fires, from 22 million to 8.4 million.
