Forest Service Chief Seeks Public Pine for Walnut Plans
U S Forest Service chief Edward P. Cliff told a Southern Illinois University audience in Carbondale that meeting public demands on forest use is the main challenge. He cited Shawnee Forest recreation growth from 630,000 in 1963 to 979,000 in 1965 and outlined a 125 mile scenic road corridor, needing 40 percent right of way and an engineering study. Cliff argued premium walnut products can compete with plastics and metals, showing walnut items and noting high prices for quality timber. He said walnut planting could fit bottomland and pasture land, with potential field spacing and dense European-style planting.
