Foresters’ Convention Sees Outdoor Recreation Rise
Boston AP report cites Richard F. Droege of the U.S. Forest Service saying rising disposable income, leisure, and mobility fuel a strong outdoor urge. From 1950 to 1962 visits to national forests jumped from 27 to 113 million, with parks and private operations confirming the trend. Droege warns that room must be found for growing use while delivering better living for recreationists, entrepreneurs, and hosts. John T. Maines of Great Northern Paper stresses public PR for timber and recreation as compatible, noting cutting trees is not a crime and the urban majority must be reached to shape future forest policy.
