What is a forest? The answer will be described in terms of immediate interests and perceptions. To the logger, it may be a place to work. To the outdoor enthusiast, it is a place to hike, hunt, ski or just to get away. To an owner, it is an asset and to the manufacturer, it is a source of raw material. For most of us, it might be a combination of those things and more. For the urban student, it is important to recognize the timeless value of the forest and to be able to look around knowing that a tree is more than a street name.
