 Forests
provide us with natural beauty and peace of mind. As the pace of our lives
and the demands on our time increase, the value of time spent in the forest—whether
we camp, hunt, hike, watch wildlife, or simply collect our thoughts—becomes
more important. The forest also fulfills the aesthetic needs of those who
simply enjoy viewing the wooded landscape from afar, as well as those who
feel good just knowing the forest is “there,” even if they never
venture into it. |
