You will be working with a team of four people who have been selected to decide the fate of a  forest newly designated as a National Forest.

Should it be used for recreation? Set aside as a wilderness? Logged for timber? Or a combination of things?

Your team will explore all of the different uses of our National Forests and the laws that regulate them. You will prepare a persuasive paper to convince the others in your team to take your position. Then together you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation at a "public hearing" of your entire class to inform them of your final recommendations for the use of the National Forest.

Good Luck! The public is trusting you to make the best use of their land!
