Centennial year for seven forests

Seven national forests in Oregon and Washington turn 100 this year.

In Washington, they include Mount Baker-Snoqualmie, Gifford Pinchot, Okanogan-Wenatchee national forests, and in Oregon, the Siuslaw, Umpqua, Umatilla and Malheur.

With nearly 25 million acres under its protection, the Forest Service is the largest land manager in the Pacific Northwest.

In his autobiography, “Breaking New Ground,” Gifford Pinchot, the first chief of the Forest Service, warned Americans of the industrial state of mind that forest resources were inexhaustible:

“….As for sustained yield, no such idea had ever entered their heads. …What talk there was about forest protection was no more to the average American that the buzzing of a mosquito, and just about as irritating.”

The initial national forests were designated at the turn of the 20th Century, followed in 1907-1908 by more throughout the West.
