The U.S. Forest Service : business as usualBennett, Cathy 01 January 2003 (has links) (PDF)
There are two prevailing views today about our forests and natural resources. Both views are considered the "right" view, each position comprising a set of values by which we make decisions and choices about using our natural resources. The "dominant world view," is anthropocentric and agriculturally based, with a strong belief that we can "fix" environmental problems through the use of technology. The key result of this view is a belief in the efficiency of economic expansion and its continued growth. The second view maintains we are part of nature, not masters of it, and that we have developed an arrogant attitude toward nature, believing we have the right to do as we wish regardless of the consequences. The result of this view is a belief in the interconnectedness of all life, thus all life has rights.
This work argues that the "dominant" worldview shaped the policies of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). Consistent with this worldview, the USFS management. paradigm was to provide the greatest return, a commodity-driven focus. However, when public values changed towards a more ecocentric view, the USFS should have reevaluated its method of doing business. Instead, it remained entrenched in its management objective- timber production.
After the courts enjoined the USFS against cutting in the Pacific Northwest, aftet struggling with confrontational environmentalists and increased activism within the agency, the USFS attempted to re-write its management paradigm. However even though the policy sounds eco-friendly, the USFS is still mandated by Congress, and forced by appropriations approved by Congress, to cut trees. Different ideologies are accommodated only when they do not conflict with economics. Thus, in spite of changing values, it is still business as usual.

Building social capital through community-agency collaboration : a survey of residents in northeast WashingtonMaier, Carolin 02 May 2012 (has links)
Over the past half century, the USDA Forest Service has increasingly faced
diverse and often competing demands for forest resources, ranging from recreation,
to ecosystem services, and timber supply. Building positive community-agency
relationships has become increasingly important. Such relationships can improve
community support for forest planning and management activities, ultimately
making the agency more efficient and effective, while also providing economic and
social benefit to local communities. The development of social capital may play an
important role in promoting positive agency-community relationships. Broadly
defined, the term refers to the social networks between individuals and groups that
create a willingness and ability to act collectively toward a common goal.
This study focuses on the impact that a partnership between the Colville
National Forest and Northeast Washington Forestry Coalition has had on rural
Northeast Washington communities. Overall, our study suggests the partnership
has positively impacted networks among community members and networks
between the community and the Forest Service. However, there is room for
improvement. Many study participants were not familiar with important details
about the Coalition's membership and objectives, or how its work may impact them
or their community. Targeted outreach efforts will likely lead to greater support for
the partnership. Such efforts could also strengthen networks among community
members and community-agency networks as individuals learn how the partnership
can benefit them and issues they care about. / Graduation date: 2012
