Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most national forests in the United States have been managed for commercial timber harvest, meaning that they have been actively logged and replanted over time. While some areas of national forests are protected from logging, such as wilderness areas and old-growth forests, the majority of the forested land is open to logging activities under regulations designed to balance conservation with economic interests. Invasive species are a concern in some areas but are not the primary factor determining management strategies for national forests.
