| Abstract: |
The guiding philosophy of the USDA Forest Service in the 20th century has been scientific management. Due in part to many failures of scientific management, and also to basic shifts in American values, this philosophy is no longer appropriate. The forest Service is left without any clear role. Ecosystem management is an awkward compromise that is not likely to solve the problem. If the agency cannot define a clearer and more widely accepted mission to guide its efforts, its future existence will be in doubt. |
