New National Forests Book from Senior Fellow Char Miller
Jul 19, 2016
 Pinchot Institute Senior Fellow Char Miller has recently completed a new illustrated
celebration of our greatest National Forests, from Alaska to Florida. For more than a century,
America’s National Forests have proved an environmental gift and cultural treasure, our spectacular
backyard. Under the management of the US Forest Service, this system of public lands encompasses
193 million acres of mountains, prairies, rivers, and canyons—much of it undiscovered, but
accessible for hiking, kayaking, fishing,
and winter sports. Officially published
with the US Forest Service, this book
features the thirty most notable
National Forests—while also celebrating
more than one hundred different
national forests in forty-four states—
from the White Mountains of New
Hampshire to the Olympics of
Washington. Unlike the national parks,
Americans can use these lands for all
manner of recreation, truly earning these
tremendous resources the moniker of
"America’s backyard." Featuring
photography by Tim Palmer and a
foreword from Bill McKibben, this
book is a treasure for all readers who use
and cherish these lands. Available at
Amazon.com and other booksellers
