Nature & Science
National Forests were established to provide watershed protection and continual forest resources for the nation. The Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forest manages for both the present and future generations. Forest resources, including wildlife habitat, wilderness, clean water, timber and forest products, and recreation opportunities are conserved through a balance of activities and uses.
