National Forests of Wyoming Miscellaneous Circular No. 82

Wyoming's national forests cover, altogether, more than 13 per cent of the entire State. The are all high up, in the back country—rugged and remote. Nevertheless, far from being merely wildernesses, they are productive units of land where practical use is being made of nature's ceaseless, silent building of wood.

North, east, south, and west—there are national forests on all sides of Wyoming. They contrast sharply with the treeless plains below. In the forests grass and weeds grow luxuriantly, wild flowers abound, the air is moist, streams are numerous, rains are frequent, and snow and ice linger at the higher elevations from one winter to the next. Here are "wood and water" which are both used and perpetuated.
